Amy Pascal and David Heyman in Line for James Bond Reboot?

by

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got my eyes peeled on two intriguing figures rumored to steer the James Bond franchise: Amy Pascal, who’s no stranger to big-screen triumphs as a former Sony executive, and David Heyman, the mastermind behind the Harry Potter series.

Amazon Studios has acquired full control over the James Bond franchise, previously held by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson for a significant period of time.

There’s been talk that this duo might be assuming control over the Bond series, and Deadline seems to support this assertion. However, no additional specifics have been disclosed yet.

Amy Pascal known for Bond, Spider-Man

Previously serving as the head of Sony Pictures, Amy Pascal played a significant role in managing the Bond series, overseeing the releases of films like Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Spectre, and Skyfall. Additionally, she is responsible for producing the popular animated Spiderverse films under Sony, along with collaborating on the Spider-Man movies in partnership with Marvel Studios.

David Heyman known for Harry Potter, Gravity

David Heyman is recognized for creating the Harry Potter movie series, Fantastic Beasts films, I Am Legend, We’re The Millers, Gravity, Wonka, The Paddington movies, and many others.

What will the Amazon James Bond reboot be like?

Initially, Amazon was given creative control over the James Bond franchise, with rumors suggesting they might cast a female Bond or create diversity-focused spinoffs. However, following public criticism, it appears the plans have been adjusted. The latest news suggests that Amazon will keep their new James Bond as a male and British character, but they are open to casting actors of color in the role.

As of now, Amazon’s upcoming James Bond project lacks a director, scriptwriter, leading actor, title, and scheduled release date. However, the actor most favored by fans to take on the role of the new 007 is Henry Cavill.
