Amazon Quietly Replaces James Bond Artwork After Backlash Over Edited-Out Guns

Sean Connery and Daniel Craig as James BondAmazon has apparently reacted to the backlash it has received over the decision to digitally manipulate artwork for the James Bond movies on its streaming service.Last week, 007 fans noticed that Prime Video had shared new images to promote the Bond films that were available to stream – with one major tweak.It was quickly spotted that bosses had made the decision to edit out the guns that the various actors who have played the iconic secret agent over the years were holding, and when the news made it to social media, people had a lot of thoughts.Amazon removing images of guns from James Bond cover art is the most American approach to gun control imaginable. Well done. pic.twitter.com/qH9GaiSfba— Agent Smart (@agentsmart) October 4, 2025"Just being disarming, darling"https://t.co/41P6Tkg2PKpic.twitter.com/KQQYif7d0q— MI6 HQ (@jamesbondlive) October 3, 2025Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker. pic.twitter.com/tyjMVD1mit— rufus jones (@rufusjones1) October 3, 2025This is giving me the really strong impression that when Amazon actually starts releasing new James Bond films, the living will envy the dead https://t.co/0enYIyD6W9— Mike Bird (@Birdyword) October 3, 2025Now I’ve made myself hungry 😋 pic.twitter.com/yfmLBbn25W— Pay As You Go Sales Reps Ltd (@PayReps26654) October 3, 2025pic.twitter.com/0KW8uxGQ3Q— wellyousaythat© (@wellyousaythatt) October 3, 2025I genuinely thought people were joking about Amazon removing the guns from the James Bond posters. Seriously why is his arms so long?!🥲 pic.twitter.com/AW7dn6TFHE— Chatsunami 🏴 (@ChatsunamiPod) October 3, 2025Looks like those humiliated tailors got their revenge on 007… pic.twitter.com/OHq7DUcJ7E— SpyHards - A Spy Movie Podcast (@SpyHards) October 3, 2025Don't know what all the fuss is about with Amazon taking the gun out of James Bond's hand in their new publicity material. You can quite easily remove the gun and 007 doesn't lose an ounce of his bold adventurous charisma pic.twitter.com/xbyYKtjOos— Morris Bright MBE (@MorrisBrightMBE) October 4, 2025Amazon has just announced the name of their first James Bxnd Movie: pic.twitter.com/pqupdVgoIv— ⚪️⚪️🔴 A Bond Exchange on 𝕏 🔫 (@ABondExchange) October 3, 2025Following the big reaction from fans of the original series, Deadline and Variety reported on Monday that these artworks have now been quietly taken down from the site and replaced with stills from the film.However, even some of these – including 2012’s Skyfall, starring Daniel Craig – have reportedly once again been digitally altered to remove guns from the image.Amazon Prime Video scrubs photoshopped thumbnail images for James Bond films that removed his firearms. However, new thumbnails crop out the firearms as seen with Skyfall.Other films such as The November Man still feature firearms in the thumbnail. Follow @fandompulsepic.twitter.com/0zsVgUVt2R— Fandom Pulse (@fandompulse) October 6, 2025HuffPost UK has contacted Amazon Prime Video for comment.Amazon took control of the James Bond series last year, when it was announced that long-time 007 producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli – who have been in charge of every Bond movie since 1995, when Pierce Brosnan took over as the titular spy – had taken a step back from their creative duties.While a successor to Daniel Craig is yet to be confirmed, favourites for the gig at present include Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jacob Elordi, Aaron Pierre and Regé-Jean Page.It has been revealed that the next movie in the Bond franchise will be helmed by Oscar-nominated director Denis Villeneuve, and written by Steven Knight, the creator of shows like Peaky Blinders and House Of Guinness.However, with a new Dune movie currently in the works, and the return of Peaky Blinders having just been announced, we think it could still be a while until James Bond’s next big screen outing…MORE JAMES BOND:Who Will Play James Bond Next? 17 Actors Who've Been Rumoured For The RoleJames Bond Fans Spot 1 Subtle Hint That This Favourite To Play 007 Has Finally Been CastDaniel Craig Speaks Out About Huge Behind-The-Scenes Shake-Up For James Bond Movies
