It’s no secret that Amazon Studios has complete authority over the James Bond franchise, and that’s a fact! After Daniel Craig retired from his spy duties in 2021, there had been little movement regarding the franchise. However, Amazon’s acquisition of the franchise from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson has certainly stirred things up. Now, it seems as though another major shake-up is on the horizon for the franchise – this time focusing on where the next Bond film will be produced rather than who will portray 007 himself.
As per a report from “The Sun,” filming limitations approaching London in the U.K. might prompt Amazon to shoot James Bond’s next action flick up north instead. Liverpool, believed to be a prime candidate, may potentially become the new base for the Bond series. This isn’t unexpected, given that numerous other productions have used Liverpool to stand-in for the U.K. capital in the past. A source shared with the paper:
It’s likely that Bond purists might find this change unsettling, given their apprehensions about Amazon potentially altering the 077 franchise. However, Liverpool is a frequently used location among filmmakers instead of London. It has stood in for various cities across the globe in productions like The Batman, Captain America, and Harry Potter films.
Indeed, a shift in location doesn’t necessarily imply that the upcoming Bond film will unfold “up north” or that most city scenes will continue to be portrayed as “in London.” As times evolve, they present fascinating production challenges for studios, and this could very well be one of the obstacles that the Bond series might encounter in the future.
As the expansion of the universe is underway, with projects like The Moneypenny Diaries, starring Florence Pugh, and a rumored “young Bond” spinoff set in the mid-1900s reportedly in development, Amazon MGM Studios will likely grow accustomed to a series of modifications within a franchise that has remained largely consistent for more than six decades.
