Next James Bond release leaks with major franchise producers ‘in talks’ for 007 | Films | Entertainment

Heyman produced the Harry Potter and Paddington films, which famously retained their Britishness. He was also behind Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Barbie, and Wonka. Meanwhile, Pascal is a Sony producer best known for helming the Spider-Man movies.

According to The Sun’s sources, a writers’ room has been assembled at Amazon MGM Studios with a broad array of plot and reboot ideas. The insider shared: “I’m told the sale has prompted a fast track of creative meetings to build a new script, officially sign the new 007 and land a director.”

The source added: “They want filming to be done on Bond 26 by the end of next year so that it can be out in 2027. The wheels are in motion. The budget of £250million has been allocated and the desire is for them to start earning back the revenue of their investment.” Presumably, this means Bond 26 and a new 007 star will be announced later this year and shoot in 2026; as the insider said Amazon want the movie in cinemas by the end of 2027.
