James Bond – now under the creative control of Amazon Studios following its buy-out of producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson – will remain a man and British (or the Commonwealth), according to UK media.

Amazon’s new James Bond franchise definitely has potential, but it comes with some major obstacles that it needs to overcome in order to succeed.

Pierce Brosnan has shared his thoughts on an American James Bond, while a new report claims that part of the mandate for Amazon gaining creative control of 007 was that the spy remain male and British.
