James Bond: Amazon MGM Studios & Eon Productions in No Rush on Casting

The global head of Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that no one is in a rush to cast a new James Bond, and "the global audience will be patient."

Amazon MGM Studios' Jennifer Salke confirms no rush in casting the next James Bond, valuing audience patience. Then comes the chore of figuring out if any of these rumors have any merit or if an actor's manager told them that saying they would be interested is a good way to get publications to write about them so they could get a job offer. Nothing James Bond-related gets made without going through them first and following the deal with Amazon, where MGM handed over their entire back catalog to the streamer, including all of the Bond films; it's rare to hear that people involved with these things aren't rushing to get a new one out.
