Amazon bought MGM in 2002, and since then, it has owned the distibrution rights to the James Bond movies. There hasn't been a new James Bond movie since then, however, with 2021's No Time To Die being the most recent entry in the series.

Amazon MGM Studios just acquired creative control over James Bond – and the fate of the 60-year-old spy franchise now rests in the streaming giant's hands.

The British family that has for decades held complete control over everything involving the globe-trotting superspy is relinquishing it to Amazon.
