\n\tAmazon Prime Video<\/a> has quietly taken down James Bond<\/a> artwork after getting backlash online from fans who spotted that 007<\/a>\u2018s gun had been airbrushed out.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, artwork for the franchise was posted on the Prime Video U.K. website in which, across each film image where a gun had previously been displayed, Bond had effectively been digitally disarmed. In several cases, such as \u201cDr. No\u201d and \u201cGoldeneye,\u201d the iconic Walther PKK had been edited out of his hand, while in others it had been cropped out. In the case of \u201cA View to a Kill,\u201d Roger Moore\u2019s arms looked like they had been lengthened, cutting his gun from the frame.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe doctored images didn\u2019t go unnoticed, with many on social media criticising the censorship \u2014\u00a0and asserting that it was a warning of what was to come with 007 now in the hands of Amazon. <\/p>\n

\n\tBrit actor Rufus Jones (\u201cRivals,\u201d \u201cW1A\u201d) joked that the posters looked as if the newly gunless Bond was now making a rude gesture.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing James Bond Day on Oct. 5 and growing online backlash, Prime Video U.K. has now \u2014\u00a0stealthily, much like the super spy himself \u2014\u00a0removed the controversial artworks altogether and replaced them with stills from each film. However, it has been noted online that none of the stills feature Bond carrying his gun. Prime Video refused to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor many 007 fans who commented online, the artwork situation may have been a troubling look to the future of James Bond, especially with a new film being readied and Denis Villeneuve in the director\u2019s chair. However, the controversy may simply have been a result of a rogue agent in the compliance department.<\/p>\n
