Alexander Skarsgard Comes Up With Novel Idea For “A Swedish James Bond, No Violence”

Amazon MGM took full creative control of the James Bond franchise in February 2025, acquiring the rights from its original British owners.
This transition followed a deal with co-owners Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who remain owners but ceded creative authority to Amazon.
With Daniel Craig's final Bond film releasing in 2021, the franchise is searching for a new 007, and actor Alexander Skarsgard expressed interest in a nonviolent, diplomatic Swedish Bond.
Skarsgard joked a Swedish Bond would avoid violence, favoring boardroom negotiations and consensus, describing him as a ‘very polite, diplomatic’ spy who prefers peace over car chases and fights.
Producers and studio executives promise to honor Bond’s legacy while introducing a fresh, exotic chapter, with work already underway for the next installment amid ongoing casting speculation.
