Who will be the next actor to play 007, the agent with license to kill?
Although it’s yet undecided, the new proprietors of James Bond – Amazon MGM – recently visited Las Vegas during the yearly gathering of cinema owners known as CinemaCon, where they discussed the forthcoming adventures of the iconic British martini-sipping secret agent.
Our executives, Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll, expressed their dedication last night at Caesars Palace to uphold the timeless essence of this renowned character while introducing a vibrant, international spin to global viewers. This endeavor is being undertaken alongside Amy Pascal and David Heyman, who are currently in London initiating the project. Although they were unable to join us tonight, we wanted to express our gratitude for their anticipated contributions that will undoubtedly make this collaboration exceptional.
This year, after many years of involvement, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli surprised fans by deciding to relinquish their creative reigns over the James Bond series, handing control to Amazon MGM instead. The trio – Wilson, Broccoli, and Amazon MGM – then established a partnership to manage the franchise’s intellectual property rights, ensuring that each party remains a co-owner of the property. Just recently, Pascal and Heyman were selected to oversee the production of the upcoming Bond movie.
In 2021, Amazon spent $8.5 billion to acquire the rights for distribution of all James Bond films through MGM. However, they only hold half ownership of the franchise and have limited involvement in creative decisions. Since Daniel Craig played his final Bond role in “No Time to Die” that same year, there has been much discussion about what’s next. But things might change soon with Pascal and Heyman taking on new roles. They were appointed by Amazon MGM’s head of film, Courtenay Valenti, who now reports directly to chair Mike Hopkins following Jen Salke’s departure as studio chief.
In a statement, Pascal and Heyman expressed their excitement about being involved with James Bond, one of cinema’s most legendary characters. They feel privileged to continue the remarkable work started by Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, who created many outstanding Bond films. They are eager to preserve the essence of Bond as he embarks on his next thrilling journey.
