“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to star in a series of increasingly bland spinoffs and TV shows that have significant viewership decline after the first episode.”

There are many negative comments on the internet, including those who say 'Bond will be 'she' or 'gay'. I don't think any of those who make these comments have watched a prime series. There are many works aimed at prime hetero men and female audiences. Reacher, Jack Ryan and Bosch series are completely aimed at hetero men. For women, there are The Summer I Turned Pretty, Maxton Hall, Culpa Mia series and even Rings of Power. Well, that doesn't mean they will do Bond very well. There is a possibility that they will do it badly again.

Such people love to invent non-existent controversies.

Exactly

Since James Bond is essentially a code name it could be anyone. Even a Jane Bond

 

[Nerys Myk]

Since James Bond is essentially a code name

Is it though?

 

[oktay]

Exactly

There is no official statement including that it is a code name.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Is it though?

I think it is since he died in the last movie so how else does the name carry on? Unless you're just trying to be difficult

There is a possibility to reboot. Or as you said, it could be a code name.

Same way it "carried on" when Craig came aboard. Totally new character with no connection to the past films.

 

[The Realist]

Is it though?

It is not.

Dumbest. Theory. Ever.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Oh yeah, I totally foresee a reboot.

Or as the Gingerbread Devil says, they will convert it to code and make it a sequel to the Daniel Craig series.

 

[Turtletrekker]

That seems unlikely.

 

[Nerys Myk]

No, they won't. Narratively awkward.

 

[oktay]

No, they won't. Narratively awkward.

probably yes it's more likely they'll do a hard reboot and reboot it into a cinematic universe.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Yeah, it’s no more going to be an issue than the Alec Baldwin/Harrison Ford/Ben Affleck/Chris Pine Jack Ryan movies were for the Amazon series or the Tom Cruise Reacher film was for the tv series. Clean slate.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Curious if they will go "universe" with Bond. We've joked about spin offs in the past. Does it lend it self to that? A Felix Leiter series? A bunch of young boffins at Q Branch getting into trouble, much to Maj. Boothroyd's chagrin. Jinx or Wai-Lin films?

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Bond and the Avengers meeting up /s

 

[Nerys Myk]

Bond and the Avengers meeting up /s

Which Avengers?
Steed (StudioCanal) or Stark (Disney)? Not sure Amazon wants to "share".

Once the deal is done, they will probably release a movie every year, including the main series and spin-offs, in theaters, with the movies released on Prime Video '1-2 months after their release. I wouldn't be surprised if they also do a TV series for Prime Video. Or maybe they could release a Bond movie every 2-3 years and release 1-2 TV series every year.
