Barbara Broccoli insists that the next James Bond should be a male Brit, upholding the franchise tradition. Popular choices for the next 007 are Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Paul Mescal, meeting Broccoli's criteria. Previous Bond actors have all been male Brits or from Commonwealth nations, fitting Broccoli's standards.

James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has reportedly voiced concerns about the future of the franchise and used some choice words to describe the owners of the 007 series, Amazon.

Turns out, things aren't quite rosy for James Bond: the Broccolis and Amazon MGM can't agree on how to handle his next outing.

By the time October roles around on the calendar of upcoming 2025 movies, we will have officially gone four years without a new 007 adventure. And we now have another potential reason for that Bond 26 gap, as an alleged feud rages on between the management teams of Amazon-MGM Studios and EON Productions.

The Wall Street Journal reported that James Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli and her company Eon are "at a complete impasse" with Amazon over decisions regarding the next 007 movie.

Barbara Broccoli is said to be feuding with the company over the future of the superspy and how to maximize the character's potential.

According to The Wall Street Journal, there is an "ugly stalemate" between Amazon and "James Bond" producer Barbara Broccoli over what to do with the franchise in the future.
