NO TIME TO DIE Producer Shoots Down Possibility Of Spinoffs Revolving Around Supporting Characters

Despite the introduction of popular new characters like Nomi and Paloma in No Time to Die, longtime franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has dismissed the idea of any spinoffs being given the green light.

We recently learned that Amazon has acquired the streaming rights to the James Bond franchise, and there was immediate speculation that this could lead to spinoff TV shows revolving around characters from that world. Small screen plans for 007 were quickly debunked, while it sounds like we should also forget about movie spinoffs. 

In No Time to Die, we're introduced to two new badass female characters who could easily hold their own away from Bond, Lashana Lynch's Nomi and Ana de Armas' scene-stealing Paloma, and while they could return down the line, it won't be in their own movies!

"The success of these films is the central character," longtime producer Barbara Brocolli says in the video below. "We have not done [a spinoff] in the past, and I don't think we have any plans to do it in the future. But who knows?" 

While there is huge potential for James Bond TV shows and spinoffs, it appears the team working on the franchise don't want to water it down in any way. That's understandable, but at a time when moviegoers expect everything to be connected like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's easy enough to see why there's a demand for more. 

There's no word on where the series is going after No Time to Die, but it sounds like the hunt for a new James Bond will begin sometime next year so we might not have too long to wait.

It was a weird move to build up a pretty great supporting cast of characters for a film whose marketing basically said “This is the last Bond movie before the whole thing gets rebooted.”

Now that Amazon owns MGM, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting spin-offs

@bkmeijer - Amazon is in charge of fitting the bill for new movies, nothing more than that. No TV shows, no spin offs. Just James Bond ^_^

@bkmeijer - Yeah, it's like Babs got her 2 cents in while seeing the writing on the wall.

You tried doing a Jinx spin-off before the plug was pulled. Why not try it again with Paloma? If anything, it would be a nice break from trying to automatically cast a new 007 a year after Craig's tenure and how big of an impact it was. Plus, she's considered a highlight of the new film by many people despite her little screen time and has potential to grow after the events of No Time to Die.

Plus, it'd be interesting seeing a foreign agency that's not either MI6 or the CIA and how different things are handled in their hands.

@demery - I mean they've always tried that and it never seemed to work out. I really think they should just stick to bond or bring a new spy franchise into the mix.

They always shoot themselves in the foot this way. Like @demery said above they had a PERFECT opportunity with Jinx and they blew it. Now we have two characters that again seem to be resonating with audiences and once again Broccoli is saying no. It's SUCH a stupid leaving money on the table move. I just don't get it.

Barbara Brocolli: “We don’t think people are interested in seeing spin-offs and solo series for ancillary characters.”

Disney: “Would y’all pay to see a Agatha Harkness TV series? What about a Max Rebo series on Disney+? Would you pay to see a Star Wars series about that guy on Bespin with the ice cream machine?!”

@Kucakingkai1991 - I like how the ones for the series are literally all around golden. Would only add the little wings they have in the comics but that is just a nitpick, they look great.

DCEU's could do without the red parts in-between.

They are fools for doing that then because Anna de Armas and Lashawna lynch were brilliant. The movie was great btw

The sooner everyone realizes the universe revolves about Bond, the better. There will only be movies about the main character and that's that. Wishful thinking won't help you. Although at the end of the new one, it does leave open one possibility which I'd be fine with.. no spoilers lol I loved it! Best opening to a Bond movie ever. Sorry not sorry Casino Royale lol
