Pierce Brosnan Open to Returning to New Bond Films in Non-Bond Role

The former 007 signals willingness to join Denis Villeneuve’s relaunch as Amazon MGM reshapes the franchise.

Overview

  • Brosnan said the idea of working "within" the next Bond film is "entertaining" and called the lead role "another man's job."
  • He added that he would consider a part if Denis Villeneuve had the right idea and noted audiences likely do not want a "craggy, 72-year-old Bond."
  • Amazon MGM has installed Denis Villeneuve to direct with Steven Knight writing, marking the first feature under the studio’s stewardship.
  • No casting has been announced, though industry reports suggest a search for a younger British lead in his late 20s or early 30s.
  • Coverage continues to speculate about prequels or spin-offs, but Amazon MGM has not confirmed any broader universe plans.
