Amazon Just Revealed a New Face of James Bond, But Not in A Movie
Well before a new actor for James Bond has been revealed for the next movie, Amazon MGM, along with video game developer IO Interactive, have dropped the first look at a younger James Bond. The game is called 007 First Light, and it's an utter reboot of the entire James Bond canon.
Featuring a younger 007 on his first mission, First Light reimagines the entire Bond story, but with all the classic elements. In fact, if the next trailer for the actual next James Bond movie is half as good as this, we'll all be in luck. Watch the new trailer for 007 First Light below.
Not taking place in any previous Bond canon, First Light seems like a game that approaches the Bond story anew. With graphics on par with the recent game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, there's certainly a cinematic quality to this trailer. Plus, plenty of guns, gadgets, and over-the-top villains pervade the entire affair.
Hardcore Bond fans will certainly be pleased by the flavor of this. Particularly those who have followed the expanded novels from authors like Kim Sherwood and Anthony Horowitz. Like First Light, those books explore both a wider look at MI6, as well as different, younger takes on James Bond.
Here's hoping the next Bond movie is half as good as this game.
007 First Light will be released sometime in 2026.
