The search for the next James Bond star has been a hot topic for quite some time now, with fans eagerly anticipating the announcement of Daniel Craig's replacement. Jennifer Salke, Amazon boss, has recently given some insight into the delicate process of choosing the next 007.
There has been no shortage of speculation and rumors surrounding who will take on the iconic role in the next installment of the British spy franchise. Names like Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Aaron Pierre, Theo James, Henry Cavill, and even Saoirse Ronan have all been thrown into the mix. But with three years passing since Craig's last Bond movie, fans are growing restless for any updates on the highly-anticipated casting decision.
Despite the mounting pressure to deliver the news, Jennifer Salke, global head of Amazon MGM Studios, is in no rush. In an interview with The Guardian, she mentioned that there are many interesting ideas for the next Bond actor, but they are taking their time to make the right decision. As for the fans, she believes they will be patient and understanding.
While Amazon MGM owns half of the Bond franchise, ultimate creative control still lies with Eon Productions, run by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson. Jennifer is happy to leave the decision in their capable hands, stating that Amazon MGM has a good and close relationship with the duo. She also made it clear that they are not looking to disrupt the way the films are made, and will follow Eon's lead.
Although the longest gap between Bond films was six years, fans at least knew that Daniel Craig would be returning for his final movie. This time around, with no announcements or updates, the wait feels even longer and more unbearable. Recent reports have confirmed that there is still no actor, director, or script attached to the upcoming film, but there is a concept and plan to reinvent the franchise.
For those who can't wait any longer, all 25 Bond films are now available to watch on Amazon Prime. And while there is no word on who will be directing the next film, director Sam Mendes believes that the producers are looking for someone who is earlier in their career and more controllable by the studio. As for his own return to the Bond franchise, he highly doubts it.
