As the James Bond franchise enters a new era, fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next. With the upcoming game “007 First Light” diving into the character’s earlier years and a new film from director Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Dune) set to bring a new face to the iconic spy, the excitement among fans is palpable.
And now, with rumors swirling that Universal Studios Great Britain is set to bring 007 to life in a new stunt show potentially inspired by the successful Bourne Stuntacular at Universal Orlando Resort, it seems James Bond is about to become bigger than ever.
According to reports earlier this year, Universal Studios Great Britain is planning to feature several beloved franchises, with James Bond being one of the most exciting additions, alongside the likes of Paddington Bear, Jurassic World, and Back to the Future.
Rumored James Bond Stunt Show
Although nothing has been confirmed, insiders suggest that the park is working on a stunt show dedicated to the British super-spy. And if it does indeed follow the format of The Bourne Stuntacular, guests can expect an immersive experience that blends live-action performances with cutting-edge technology and special effects.
The Bourne Stuntacular has become a fan-favorite for its high-energy action sequences, brought to life with a combination of live actors and impressive special effects.
“Forget what you know about stunt shows. Through a cutting-edge fusion of stagecraft and film, you follow Jason Bourne as he outruns sinister characters hoping to bring him in,” the synopsis from Universal reads. “He dangles from a helicopter in Dubai. He’s chased across rooftops in Tangier and by motorcycle through Virginia. There are fistfights, shootouts and danger at every turn.”

We Might Get a Bond Ride or a Themed Land Instead
If Universal follows a similar approach for Bond, it’s easy to imagine thrilling chase scenes, explosive fight sequences, and jaw-dropping stunts that have wowed audiences in movie theaters for many decades. And not to mention a James Bond actor exclusive to the parks.
Whether set in the bustling streets of London or the glamorous casinos of Monte Carlo and other familiar locations from the films, this setting could offer the perfect backdrop for the superspy while celebrating the the most iconic moments in the franchise’s history.
Details are still under wraps, but the inclusion of a James Bond stunt show would be a thrilling addition to Universal Studios Great Britain’s roster of attractions.
Whether it’s a full-blown stunt show, a roller coaster attraction, or even an entire themed land dedicated to the beloved franchise (there’s plenty to fill it), here’s hoping that Universal Studios Great Britain is preparing something special for the world of 007.
