Daniel Craig Reacts to James Bond’s New Bosses: “Shaken, Not Stirred!”

Well, well, well—looks like James Bond just got a new boss, and it’s none other than Amazon MGM Studios! That’s right, the studio giant has officially stepped into the driver’s seat of the legendary 007 franchise, leaving longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to sip their martinis on the sidelines (shaken, obviously).

Naturally, the man who once parkoured across cranes in a tuxedo—Daniel Craig himself—had something to say about this seismic shift in the Bond universe.

“My respect, admiration, and love for Barbara and Michael remain constant and undiminished,” Craig told Variety, proving once again that he has the class of a gentleman spy even when delivering major franchise shakeup news. He continued, “I wish Michael a long, relaxing (and well-deserved) retirement,” which we assume means Michael will now spend his days lounging in a lair like a retired Bond villain, stroking a cat and reminiscing about the good ol’ days.

As for Barbara? Craig is betting big on her next move: “Whatever ventures Barbara goes on to do, I know they will be spectacular, and I hope I can be part of them.” Translation: If there’s a new Bond-adjacent project involving explosions, tailored suits, and possibly an Aston Martin, Danny Boy is READY.

Of course, Wilson and Broccoli haven’t been totally booted from the Bond empire—they still technically own the creative rights alongside Amazon MGM. But let’s be real: with the tech behemoth now calling the shots, don’t be surprised if 007’s next gadget is Alexa-powered or if Q’s lab starts delivering spy gear via Prime one-day shipping.

The news follows whispers of behind-the-scenes tension between the legendary Bond producers and the studio. Did Amazon demand that Bond start solving mysteries with the help of AI? Did they suggest renaming him “Agent 00-Prime” for brand synergy? The world may never know.

One thing’s for sure—Daniel Craig may have left the tux behind, but he’ll always be Bond in our hearts. And if Amazon wants to cast him as a suave, retired MI6 agent who spends his days roasting bad guys on Twitter, we’d watch that in a heartbeat.
