Timothy Dalton, star of 'The Living Daylights' and 'Licence To Kill,' says it is sad that James Bond has fallen into the hands of Amazon MGM Studios.

In a huge shakeup for the James Bond series, Amazon will take creative control as longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli step back.

In a new interview, Timothy Dalton, who played the infamous agent in “The Living Daylights” (1987) and “License to Kill” (1989), reacted to the news that Amazon MGM Studios gained creative control over the film franchise after producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson announced they would be taking a step back.

Daniel Craig responds to the big changes in the world of James Bond, after Amazon MGM Studios took creative control of the franchise.

For over six decades, the Broccoli family has been as much a part of the James Bond film franchise as vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred, of course), beautiful women and henchmen with terrible aim.

Amazon founder and executive chair Jeff Bezos posed a question to his X followers: "Who'd you pick as the next Bond?" Just one day prior, that inquiry may have felt a bit presumptuous: while Amazon's $8.

The James Bond franchise is at a turning point following its acquisition by tech giant Amazon and after long-time casting director Debbie McWilliams announced her departure after more than 40 years in the role.
