Every James Bond movie ends with the message “James Bond will return”. But, frankly, he’s taking his sweet time about it. It’s been four years since Daniel Craig bowed out of the franchise with No Time to Die, and, until today, there’d been complete radio silence on the next movie.
Since then, Bond has been purchased by Jeff Bezos and Amazon, who apparently have plans to transform the franchise into a sprawling cross-media enterprise including spin-off TV shows and so on. The jury’s out whether that’s a good idea, but at least the very first piece of solid information about the new movie is a huge win.
