Spider-man, Harry Potter Producers Hired For New 007 Film

The producers behind the Spider-Man and Harry Potter film franchises will oversee the next James Bond movie, Amazon MGM Studios announced Tuesday.

The appointment of Amy Pascal and David Heyman is the first step in Amazons plan to relaunch the British spy franchise, after taking full creative control last month.

The producers are expected to play a major role in deciding who will replace actor Daniel Craig as the super-suave MI6 agent, as well as choosing the next films director and production schedule.

Amazon MGM Studios film chief Courtenay Valenti said the pair would deliver to global audiences storytelling that upholds the impeccable legacy of this beloved character.

Pascal, who previously ran major Hollywood studio Sony Pictures, is best-known for her work on various Spider-Man films, including the recent live-action movies starring Tom Holland.
