Amazon can’t figure out how to bring Bond back from the dead, but you only live twice, right? – 27 ready-made solutions
In case it somehow passed under your radar, creative control of the James Bond film franchise is now in the hands of Amazon, who are the new (ish) owners of MGM.
Having reportedly paid a billion dollars to Barbara Broccoli for that control, Amazon MGM is eager to make a new Bond film, but they feel there’s a hurdle to overcome – SPOILER ALERT – James Bond is dead.
An article in Gizmodo claims that director Denis Villeneuve and writer Steven Knight don’t know how to move past the spectre of No Time to Die, which was – ironically – Bond’s time to die, when he was caught in a massive explosion.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

The Bluesky public weren’t convinced that the problem actually exists. Amazon may just find a quantum of solace in these reactions.

If Anthony Horowitz can't come up with a way of revealing James Bond is alive after No Time To Die, he should probably take advice from someone who's used to writing stories set in the outlandish world of James Bond, such as the novelist Anthony Horowitz

Fine, I will write the next James Bond.
INT: SEX CASINO, NIGHT
BOND: Hello I am Bond James Bond my car goes NYOOM
CUT TO: ten minutes of a chase in a sports car
BOND: Also my watch is a special watch that makes ladies blouses see through
EXPLOSION
BOND: This film is for grown ups— Gabby HC's books make ideal festive presents (@scriblit.bsky.social) November 11, 2025 at 12:15 PM

There’s a simple solution here: James Bond in Hell. He has sex with the Devil’s wife, kills the Devil by kicking him out of a helicopter, etc.

This isn't remotely hard.
Either lean into the fan theory that "James Bond" is a cover that gets passed from agent to agent, or just start setting these back in the 1960s when a character like Bond made a little more sense.
There. Mail me my check.

growing concerned watching the new james bond movie as it becomes apparent he isn’t going to give his customary 30-minute monologue explaining to the audience how he used to be like seven different guys

James Bond is not a “series,” and should not bother with “continuity.” James Bond is something closer to haiku, or twelve-bar blues: a format which can be repeated with endless variations.

everyone knows who James Bond is? his death doesn't matter.
you don't need to reintroduce him, there's no 'canon'. You can just have a dude going on adventures. No one gives a shit if you say "oh yeah, Craig Bond died, this is John Doe Bond, he's another agent"

As a Godzilla fan, I think James Bond should just emerge from the sea when he's needed without any explanation of what he's been up to.

James Bond has changed form six times or something, and has been working as a high level spy since 1962, so I don’t think him getting blown up matters.
