except one that features actor Sean Connery<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The streaming giant also gained control of all Bond movies earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Amazon also\u00a0deleted a series of digitally-altered James Bond posters, which removed the spy&#8217;s gun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The\u00a0shots of the spy were altered to remove certain elements deemed core to his brand, namely guns and girls.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Instead of seeing some of the film&#8217;s frontmen, including Sean, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig, wielding a Walther PPK, viewers were horrified to discover digitally altered versions without a pistol in sight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Critics swiftly took to social media, with many accusing Amazon of &#8216;sanitising&#8217; the Bond name &#8211; and legacy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It has now responded to indignant backlash by replacing the edited gun-less promo pictures with more traditional stills from the films themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, the new offerings are not likely to satisfy fans, as despite being untouched, they are still without guns or Bond girls.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-d72ce8fd652e5f52\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/102936029-15186629-image-a-15_1760343533788.jpg\" height=\"793\" width=\"634\" alt=\"But above all, a scene from 1967's You Only Live Twice, where Sean changes his skin colour and eye shape to mimic a Japanese man, has avoided any warning of racial insensitivity\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">But above all, a scene from 1967&#8217;s You Only Live Twice, where Sean changes his skin colour and eye shape to mimic a Japanese man, has avoided any warning of racial insensitivity<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the original poster for 2015&#8217;s Spectre featuring Daniel Craig, Bond is seen holding the gun in his right hand, by his side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Amazon made the simple move of cropping Craig&#8217;s hands, while keeping his original pose, in an attempt to conceal the display of the firearm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The moves to remove the weapon prompted fury among the most die-hard of Bond fans due to its significance in the original texts of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It was first issued to the intelligence agent in the Ian Fleming novel Dr. No in 1958, and featured in all of the subsequent books as Bond&#8217;s signature firearm &#8211; prompting widespread popularity in pop culture replica collectibles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">House Of Guinness star Anthony Boyle is reportedly the most recent actor to join the race to become the next James Bond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Belfast-born actor, 31, plays eldest Guinness son Arthur in the Netflix series and has also featured in smash-hit Derry Girls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Now, Anthony is rumoured to be in the running for what would be his biggest role yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Ladbrokes bookies have reportedly shot Anthony straight in at 10\/1 in the odds, making him the fifth favourite to take over from Daniel Craig, according to The Mirror.<\/p>\n<p>                    Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        James Bond films slapped with fresh wave of woke trigger warnings by streamer &#8211;
