Pierce Brosnan: He doesn’t want a American than James Bond

What does the future of James Bond look like after it became known in February that Amazon MGM Studios takes artistic control at new 007 films? This question not only arises fans, but apparently also Pierce Brosnan (71), who embodied the figure four times on the big screen. “Nobody really knows” how the secret agent will continue under Amazon’s leadership.

A few weeks ago, it was announced that the previous producers Barbara Broccoli (64) and Michael G. Wilson (83) cede creative control over the agent franchise. A step that Brosnan already saw. However, he thinks that it was “the right decision for Barbara and Michael”. It takes a lot of courage in their place to let go. However, they still had a certain say.

“I hope that [Amazon] The work and the character treated with dignity, imagination and respect, “explains Brosnan. The actor who has never died in the parts of” Goldeneye “,” The Tomorrow never dies “,” The world is not enough “and” Die Die Another day “is proud to be part of the story of James Bond. And he is proud of the films he made with Broccoli and Wilson.

For Brosnan it is “a matter of course” that the successor to the currently latest Bonds, Daniel Craig (57), is a British descent. Since this “no time to die” from 2021 celebrated his bond party, no official 007 heritage has been found. Over the years there was countless speculation as to who could take over. So far, names such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson (34), Paul Mescal (29) and most recently also Stuart Martin (39) have been found.

At the same time, rumors arose that the new bond could be a woman or maybe an American. However, the company is said to have already clarified that this will not be the case. reported recently of an alleged internal Amazon note. “There were so many false rumors about the future of Bond,” said an insider. “Amazon endeavors to keep the spirit of Bond alive, and that means that it has to be British or from the Commonwealth – and it has to be male.”
