The new posters look oddly consistent with each other, but don't look any way close to the ones I could turn up on google images, so my guess is that they used AI to generate them, but for whatever reason the AI refuses to generate guns, hence lack of guns.

Yeah I did the same thing - running a reverse-image search for similar images with a date filter to find older ones and nothing came up.
Most GenAI models can do weapons without any complaints. For fun I recreated that same set of posters with Bond holding absurdly huge weapons.
A cursory search online reveals only a single source [1]. Additionally searching on Amazon Prime for Bond movies shows PLENTY of poster/cover art with Bond holding his quintessential Walther PPK including Dr. No [2] which was mentioned in the article.
So unless this was leaked by an intern or maybe its being AB tested in various regions, this seems like a big fat nothing. I mean why single out James Bond? Why not Terminator, Predator... basically every Schwarzenegger movie in existence with the exception of Jingle All the Way.
