Crime writer Lee Child has said he believes Amazon MGM Studios will try “to dominate the entire year” with James Bond franchises if their future instalment proves commercially successful.
“And so we can imagine, I expect, a big Bond (film) production once every few years, and then a lot of like Bond origin (stories), a (Miss) Moneypenny spin-off (about the chief of the secret intelligence service’s secretary) … whatever it will be happening.”.
A number of actors including Happy Valley star James Norton, Man Of Steel actor Henry Cavill, Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Bob Marley: One Love actor Kingsley Ben-Adir are among the names suggested who could take over from Daniel Craig.
The British author, 70, created the former military police anti-hero Jack Reacher – which has been turned into an Amazon Prime series called Reacher starring US actor Alan Ritchson.
There has been a spin-off brought out by them, the Bond Prime Video game show 007: Road To A Million fronted by Succession actor Brian Cox which began in 2023, and is set to return for a second series.
