Amazon swiftly expedites James Bond's comeback, with MGM in hot pursuit.
Here's a rewritten version of the article:
It's been three years since we_ve said goodbye to Daniel Craig in No Time to Die, the third installment of the James Bond franchise. Now, speculation about the next action-packed Bond flick is at an all-time high, but studio Amazon MGM and the Broccoli family have kept mum on the topic.
In an interview with The Guardian, Jennifer Salke, the global head of the company, mentioned that the world will happily embrace a new Bond film whenever it arrives. They're not looking to drag us through an insanely long wait between No Time to Die and the next installment, but for now, they're confidently staying mum.
During the past year, the Broccoli family opened up about their quest to decide the direction for the James Bond franchise. Salke shares the same sentiment, recognizing there are numerous ways to spin the character's next adventure. However, MGM is taking a backseat and won't be forcing their ideas onto the talented team of producers. With their solid relationship with the Broccoli family and longtime producer Michael G. Wilson, they aim to preserve the trademark quality of the beloved Bond films.
Three years might not seem like a lengthy intermission in the grand scheme, but considering the rapid pace at which films are released these days, it's a noticeable gap. For instance, lengthy breaks between Marvel or DC movies can spark uncertainty among fans. Unlike those superheroes, Bond doesn't have a TV series or video game to keep interest afloat while waiting for the next movie. It's essential to give the studio time to find the perfect candidate for the iconic role, but how long can we endure Bond's cinematic hiatus?
