Producer Barbara Broccoli has said the next James Bond will serve King Charles III and the UK, but talk about the future of the franchise with Amazon, the new owner of Agent 007, hasn’t really “started”.
Bond worked for the Queen and her country, and now he will work for the King and his country. He was a very loyal servant of the British government. “He’s a classic hero who cares more about the world and humanity than his own personal desires,” Barbara said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
This is how 007 will operate in the service of King Charles III, and is the first time in Bond’s history that the famous British secret agent has worked with a king other than Queen Elizabeth II.
“It’s a very sad time in Britain, obviously a great transition period, but it certainly left a very extraordinary legacy,” he added.
The most recent Bond movie, No Time to Die (2021), was the latest release for star Daniel Craig. Since then, Amazon has bought the MGM studio responsible for 007, which it is believed that changes may await the world’s most famous fictional agent.

Producers remain in suspense as to who will play the next 007 agent, who are known to include Henry Cavill and Idris Elba.
“We will not rest on our laurels and keep the same formula,” said Broccoli, heiress to the franchise from her father, Albert Coby Broccoli, a producer who began adapting Ian Fleming’s novels for screen 60 years ago.
However, Elba commented that he was not interested in taking on the role, something the producers themselves understood, since the actor taking on the role of Agent 007 should be willing to commit to it for many years.
He also emphasized that “the main character of James Bond is the most important element in the films, and we believe it is incorruptible, serving the Queen, and now a king and country.”
After five films as Agent 007, actor Daniel Craig bid farewell to the role of James Bond in No Time to Die.
