One former James Bond<\/a> actor wouldn\u2019t mind starring in Denis Villeneuve<\/a>\u2019s 007 movie.<\/p>\n

Dune and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to direct the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios<\/a>. This comes after the company obtained full creative control over the 007 franchise through a joint venture deal with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.<\/p>\n

What did Pierce Brosnan say about James Bond?<\/p>\n

Speaking with Radio Times<\/a>, via Variety<\/a>, Pierce Brosnan<\/a> said he\u2019d be open to returning to the James Bond role should Villeneuve have \u201csomething up his sleeve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone wants to see a craggy, 72-year-old Bond, but if Villeneuve had something up his sleeve, I would look at it in a heartbeat,\u201d he said. \u201cWhy not? It\u2019s great entertainment. It could be lots of laughs. Bald caps, prosthetics\u2026 who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n

Brosnan\u2019s version of 007 debuted in 1995\u2019s GoldenEye, which was directed by Martin Campbell. He then returned for three sequels \u2014 1997\u2019s Tomorrow Never Dies, 1999\u2019s The World Is Not Enough, and 2002\u2019s Die Another Day \u2014 before Daniel Craig then inherited the role in 2006\u2019s Casino Royale.<\/p>\n

While Villeneuve\u2019s James Bond movie will likely cast an all-new James Bond, there\u2019s always a chance that Brosnan could cameo in the film or have some sort of minor supporting role. He still appears in movies frequently, as he\u2019ll soon be seen playing Ron Ritchie in The Thursday Murder Club, which arrives later this month.<\/p>\n

Brosnan also said about Villeneuve\u2019s movie, \u201cI have been listening to the drumbeat of expectation of who\u2019s going to be the next James Bond. There are many great candidates out there, and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re going to make it a spectacle of delight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon MGM Studios\u2019 James Bond movie does not yet have a release date, though it will likely still be a few years away, as Villeneuve is currently working on Dune 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One former James Bond actor wouldn\u2019t mind starring in Denis Villeneuve\u2019s 007 movie.
