Pierce Brosnan Backs Helen Mirren's Critique of Bond Franchise's Sexism

The former 007 actor agrees with Mirren's call for authentic female-led espionage stories as Amazon MGM charts a new direction for the series.

Pierce Brosnan has publicly agreed with Helen Mirren's criticism of the James Bond franchise's historical sexism, calling her remarks accurate and impactful.
Helen Mirren described the Bond series as 'drenched and born out of profound sexism' and advocated for original films about real women in espionage rather than a female Bond.
Brosnan, who portrayed James Bond in four films, expressed openness to returning to the franchise, potentially as an older version of the character.
Amazon MGM Studios, now in creative control of the Bond franchise, has promised a 'fresh, exotic new' chapter but has not yet announced specific plans for the next film.
The renewed focus on the franchise's portrayal of women highlights broader cultural shifts in Hollywood and ongoing debates about diversity and representation.
