Daniel Craig has shared his take on the huge shake-up that’s gone on behind the scenes of the James Bond franchise.
On Thursday afternoon, it was revealed that long-time 007 producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli – who have been in charge of every Bond movie since 1995, when Pierce Brosnan took over as the titular spy – would be stepping back from their creative duties.
In their place, Amazon MGM Studios will now be taking over creative control of the blockbuster franchise.
“With my 007 career spanning nearly 60 incredible years, I am stepping back from producing the James Bond films to focus on art and charitable projects,” Wilson said in a statement.
“Therefore, Barbara and I agree, it is time for our trusted partner, Amazon MGM Studios, to lead James Bond into the future.”
Broccoli added: “I have had the honour of working closely with four of the tremendously talented actors who have played 007 and thousands of wonderful artists within the industry.
“With the conclusion of No Time To Die, and Michael retiring from the films, I feel it is time to focus on my other projects.”
