Pierce Brosnan speaks out on hopes for next James Bond
Pierce Brosnan says that the next James Bond must be played by a male actor, despite suggesting in 2019 that a woman in the role would be 'exhilarating'.
The actor, who starred in four Bond films, expressed excitement to see a new man bring 'new life' to the character following Daniel Craig 's departure from the franchise.
Dame Helen Mirren, Brosnan's co-star, supported his opinion, saying that James Bond 'has to be a guy' as it 'just doesn't work' otherwise.
Brosnan portrayed Bond in the 1990s and early 2000s, featuring in films such as GoldenEye and Die Another Day.
Speculation is ongoing regarding who will replace Craig, with actors like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Callum Turner being mentioned as potential candidates.
