With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, a detail will change for one of her most famous subjects: James Bond.

Since his debut, the spy has been 'on Her Majesty the Queen's Secret Service', with Ian Fleming's debut novel

Casino Royale

coming out a year into the monarch's reign, in 1953. 007 will now act “for the fatherland, for the king”.

In any case, this was announced by the producer of the franchise, Barbara Broccoli.



“The central character of James Bond is the most important element of these films, and we believe he is incorruptible, that he worked for the queen and now for the fatherland and for the king,” she said. explained to AFP, refusing to imagine that these aspects of the character can change (and that he becomes, for example, anti-royalist…).

No progress

James Bond is in a special situation since for the first time in his history (WARNING, SPOILERS) the character died in a film, with no possible way out (unless in addition to being incorruptible, he is immune to missile explosions ).

In addition, Amazon bought MGM, the studio that has always produced the franchise.

The production therefore has the opportunity to start all over again with Bond, including finding a new actor.

On this point, Barbara Broccoli is formal: there has been no progress for the moment, and for good reason…they haven't started the research.

“We are just starting our relationship with Amazon.

We haven't started getting involved with the next Bond movie yet,” she said.

And the first mission for the film crew: to stay relevant.

“What is the world going to worry about in two or three years?

How can we keep up with the times?

But so far it has worked pretty well.

You shouldn't be afraid of change… You have to accept it, and you shouldn't do the same thing over and over again.

We need to change a bit.

The public has a certain expectation.

But he also wants to be surprised.

So that's part of the effort,” concluded Barbara Broccoli.

So we can't expect anything… except to be surprised.
