Overview
- Speaking to GQ, the former 007 said he is open to appearing in the new era of Bond in a different capacity rather than reprising the title role.
- Asked about playing a retired agent or former 007, Brosnan noted he sometimes entertains the idea, and in a separate comment said he would look at a Villeneuve-led idea "in a heartbeat."
- Amazon MGM has taken creative control of the franchise and has publicly attached Villeneuve to direct the next film from a script by Knight, according to recent reports.
- Casting for the new Bond has not been announced; industry reports say producers are seeking a younger British lead in his late 20s to early 30s, with speculation about some candidates remaining unconfirmed.
- Reporting has also suggested Amazon MGM is exploring a broader Bond universe of projects, though plans beyond the next film have not been formally detailed.
