Following Amazon MGM’s acquisition of the James Bond franchise, production is reportedly underway for the next instalment of the legendary spy thriller. The studio, which now holds full creative control of the project instead of the Broccoli family, has already identified a timeline for the film’s release.
Last month, it was reported that Amazon MGM had struck a deal with long-time Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson to take full creative control of the franchise. This revelation caused some degree of worry among fans of the series. However, the studio is now “fast-tracking” the next film for release.
Although the next actor to play the titular character has yet to be announced, an unnamed source told The Sun that the film is expected to hit the silver screen before the end of 2027 – an impressive turnaround for a film of such grand proportions.
It has also been reported that the next James Bond film will boast a budget of £250million, which is around the same mark as Daniel Craig’s last outing as the character in No Time To Die. If the next film does reach cinemas in 2027, it will mark the longest wait between instalments of the franchise since Goldeneye in 1995, which came six years after License to Kill.
Rumours have been circulating over potential replacements for Daniel Craig for years, with current favourites including the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton, and Theo James, among many others
Taylor-Johnson distanced himself from the role last year, “I don’t feel like I need to have a future drawn out for me. I feel like, whatever’s drawn out for me, I can fucking do better.”
At the time of writing, Amazon-MGM has yet to confirm specific details surrounding the next Bond film, including its title, release date, or casting information. However, sources claim that the project is currently in the early stages of production and is being treated as a priority by the production studio.
