Bezos Jeff Bezos. The founder of billionaire Amazon may have a great speech about who is taken in one of the world’s most iconic roles: Bond. James Bond. And fans have the opportunity to protect their favorite actors and try to attract Bezo’s attention.
Bezos began a host of activity between Bondi’s affairs by posting a simple question on social media on Thursday: “Who will you choose as the other connection?” Bezos included a picture of an article of a reuters emphasizing the news that long manufacturers of Bondi’s exclusivity have submitted creative control of Amazon action movies.

From Russia with two-day distribution? Henry Cavill played the Superman in the 2013 Man of Steel. He has a rich experience in the roles of action.
If Bezos actually reads the comments on Instagram, then he will know who is attracting the general public to take over as 007. A quick study study shows a name in particular increasing. Henry Cavill may have played the American Superhero Superhero, but he is very British. “I think the world is mad if Henry Cavill is not offered this role,” one commenter said.
British actor Idris Elba also received some mention, although when asked in 2018, he said he would not be the next connection. Maybe he will change his mind.

Elba is the personal favorite of Bonds expert Colin Burnett, a professor of film and media studies at the University of Washington in St. Louis, Missouri. However, Burnett, the fear that Elba has “aged” the role. “I think it’s time from a black connection,” Burnett Cnet tells. “Blockbuster films with black stars are now global hits, including in East Asia, which is a great market for connectivity.”
Cavill may be a popular choice, but some fans are thinking outside the box. There was at least one vote for American comedian Kevin Hart. Whoopi Goldberg, known for her work at Star Trek and as a co-paid of the look, also shouted.
Amazon did not immediately respond to a commentary request on the level of bezo’s involvement with creative decisions or casting for exclusivity.
Amazon takes James Bond’s creative control

No prime minister to die? Daniel Craig was the latest James Bond, but he withdrew from the role in 2021.
Amazon closed a multibillion dollar deal to buy mgm studios in 2022 and formed Amazon MGM Studios. MGM has been the Bond’s series home, with every Bond movie now broadcasting to the Amazon Prime Minister – for an additional fee of about $ 4 to rent each movie, or about $ 15 to buy, depending on the age of film.
While the exclusivity of the Bond film is a big business, it has also been a family venture under the control of manufacturers Michael Wilson and Barbara Brokol.
“With my 007 career that includes nearly 60 years of extraordinary years, I’m leaving the production of James Bond movies to focus on art and charity projects,” Wilson said In a statement in Amazon on February 20th. “Therefore, Barbara and I agree, it is time for our trusted partner, Amazon MgM Studios, to lead James Bond in the future.”

Long -term manufacturers and Amazon MGM will remain co -owners of the exclusivity. “Since the purchase of MGM, Amazon has kept the rights to distribute all the James Bond films, and as a result of this transaction there will be creative control over future products,” Amazon said. That is why Bezo’s Instagram post has a weight.
“Bond’s exclusivity is one of the most elastic in business history. It must be. There are many owners over time,” Burnett says. Burnett notes that the future of exclusivity can be complicated, especially if Amazon explores spin-off series, just as Disney has done with Star Wars. He expects Amazon to preserve a “Mother” theatrical series, but can predict a transmission series like a Moneypenny spinoff or a revival of the animated show of James Bond Jr.
Although famous in the film, Suave SupersPy debuted in a series of novels by Ian Fleming. Many actors, from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan, have played the role. Daniel Craig was the latest 007, but he left the character after no time to die in 2021. The Blockbuster movie easily topped $ 700 million.
The other actor to play James Bond will have big shoes and even greater action scenes to fill. It can be a long commitment. Craig’s running began in 2006 (then again, there was also one and made George Lazenby). They expect some things to stay the same, no matter who goes into the role. Tuxedos, Martinis, fast cars and deviant tools should be together for travel, whether it’s a favorite cavill for fans or a dark horse candidate.
Time will tell what amazon finally plans to do with Bond. Says Burnett, “wait what we’ve been waiting for, over and over again. A new era of connection.”
