James Bond is one of the most popular characters in pop culture and cinema. Ian Fleming created this secret agent as the protagonist of his novels in 1953. Well, let's just say Mr. Bond single-handedly popularized the number '007', as this was the code under which he worked.

Over the years, we have seen many Bond Movies starring some of the most famous actors, from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig. This time, netizens are wondering if Amazon is getting the creative hold over the Bond franchise after Wilson and Broccoli reportedly stepped back. Are they going to wake up one morning and secretly receive a doorstep delivery?

On the other hand, some netizens have expressed their fear that with this recent news, the Bond franchise may be going into a downward spiral. Well, it's too early to say anything and only time will tell the winner of this debate.

But netizens are leaving no stone unturned in the comment section to take funny jabs at the news. Some have even dropped 'RIP' messages in the comment section.

The most hilarious reaction was by a netizen who asked if we were in for more surprises with this creative takeover. He asked, with signature netizen-like curiosity, if Bond would be delivering orders to our houses now.

Let us see what all fans and netizens have written to make us laugh:
