need to be an entire shared universe franchise like Marvel or DC? Reportedly that’s a debate happening within Amazon/MGM right now – and it’s not sounding like a pretty or productive situation. The long-short is that there’s reportedly no forward motion on the next Bond movie, three years after the release of No Time to Die – no script, no director, and no actor announced to take over the role of Bond from Daniel Craig.
In the content-saturated world of today, It’s debatable whether or not James Bond films – on their own – are still the same draw they used to be. No one seems able to agree on what kind of actor should take on the role; whether Bond should maintain the same core characteristics and the formula that have made him a staple for 50+ years – or if the character needs to be updated for modern times and tastes., and producers aren’t speaking up, either.
There’s a certain amount of logic to that view: even though there are enough supporting characters and organizations in Bond lore for spinoffs, once you take Bond out of it they arguably slide into being generic espionage/action content, of little distinction. Pitches like a ‘Goldfinger origin story,’ or a spinoff about 006 , or allies like Bond’s gadget-man Q in their formative years, sound flimsy, if not DOA.
