Barbara Broccoli made calls to her collaborators to tell them she and Michael G. Wilson were making a deal to relinquish James Bond creative rights.

The studio will take the reins for the 60-year-old movie property, while Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli will remain co-owners as they move to the sidelines as part of a joint venture transaction.

Daniel Craig said he hopes to work with Barbara Broccoli again following her and Michael G. Wilson's choice to cede the rights of the James Bond franchise to Amazon. Craig - who wrapped up his stint as 007 back in 2021's "No Time to Die" - released a statement to TheWrap congratulating the two on their work with the franchise and wished them luck in their next move.
