Those in the know have confirmed that Pinewood is booked up for the forseeable future. If Bond 26 does anything there, it'll likely be some kind of cursory bit of business to be able to say the new Bond was there.
You don't need to be 'in the know' Variety ran this story that from 2020, for ten years, Disney would lease everything at Pinewood except a couple of its TV studios.
Not sure if that can help the production of Bond 26. If Bezos buys the studio, is he also buying Disneys 10 year lease to? If Bezos could do it, could he buy Disneys lease instead?
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

Um, where does Leavesden Studios fit into this?
Also we shouldn't ignore Pinewood Toronto.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

What's "the forseeable future"? I'm very far from an expert, but I can't imagine Bond26 starts filming until next year at the earliest.
Disney has a ten-year lease on it. They can sublet, but Disney/Marvel isn't exactly short on productions to film there.
I see.

The Pinewood website does refer to expansion at Shepperton so maybe they could do some filming there, but it looks like CR all over again for Bond26.
Well some folks in here didn’t know 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, thanks!
Maybe Bezos will buy Pinewood?

Pinewood Shepperton looks pretty good. The backlots would be good for a Bond film, thinking of the NTTD Cuba set on the Pinewood-Pinewood backlot.
My bet is they figure it all out. There are other studios and on a positive note, maybe it pushes them to shoot more on location.
