Next James Bond Should Be British, Says Former Actor Pierce Brosnan
In a recent interview, former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan expressed his belief that the next 007 should be British, praising the franchise's producers for their decision to hand creative control to Amazon. Brosnan, who portrayed Bond from 1995 to 2002, commended this move as a courageous step and emphasized the importance of handling the character with dignity and imagination.
Amazon's Role in the Future of Bond
As Amazon takes the reins alongside MGM Studios, the search for Daniel Craig's successor has begun, with names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James emerging as frontrunners. While the franchise has seen non-British actors take on the iconic role in the past, Brosnan firmly believes that a British actor is essential for the character's authenticity.
Producers and Creative Control
Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will continue to co-own the franchise, but Amazon will oversee the creative direction moving forward. Although the release date for the next Bond film remains uncertain, it is anticipated to surpass the six-year gap between releases, setting a new record for the franchise.
Reflecting on his tenure as Bond, Brosnan expressed pride in being part of the franchise's rich history and legacy, highlighting the enduring appeal of the character and the franchise as a whole. As fans eagerly await the next installment, the question of who will don the iconic tuxedo continues to generate excitement and speculation.
