After the departure of Daniel Craig from the James Bond franchise, the hunt for the next 007 agent has been going on. The news reached the ears of a former James Bond himself and Pierce Brosnan added his input into who the next MI-6 agent should be.

During his interview, it is subtly seen that Pierce Brosnan is against a female James Bond amidst rumors that the franchise is looking for a change to adapt to better times.

Pierce Brosnan starred in 4 films as James Bond.
Pierce Brosnan Subtly Hints Against A Female Agent 007

Following four movies in which Pierce Brosnan portrayed the role of James Bond, the actor departed from the franchise in 2002 with his last film Die Another Day.

GQ Magazine approached the veteran actor to ask about his thoughts on who the next martini-sipping agent should be. The 69-year-old Irish actor replied, “I don’t care”.

Daniel Craig left the franchise after starring as James Bond in No Time To Die (2021).
Although he didn’t care much about who the next James Bond might be, it can be taken from his words that he is subtly against a female agent 007.

“It’ll be interesting to see who they get, who the man shall be. Whoever he be, I wish him well.”

The words ‘man’ and ‘he’ is enough for the people to understand that the actor hopes that the James Bond franchise will continue to be driven by male agents and will not change the meta despite the current times trying to involve all the communities in their movies and series.

James Bond’s Contract Rules Out Idris Elba

Idris Elba is allegedly out of the race for James Bond.
Despite Idris Elba being a top-favorite contender in the race for the next James Bond, the producers of the upcoming movie, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson recently spoke about the contract’s condition that may be just enough to make Idris Elba think twice before signing.

“It’s going to be a couple of years off. And when we cast Bond, it’s a 10-, 12-year commitment. So he’s probably thinking, ‘Do I really want that thing?’ Not everybody wants to do that. It was hard enough getting Daniel Craig to do it.”

Since Idris Elba is 50 years old, the 10-year contract may be too much for the Hobbs & Shaw actor. As of now, fans are rooting for Henry Cavill to take the helm and be the next James Bond however, the decision rests entirely behind the closed walls of the Hollywood industry.
