As James Bond, actor Pierce Brosnan rescued the world from 1995 to 2002. Now Brosnan wants to, according to "Hollywood Reporter" the suit-wearing women's hero against a female agent. In 2017, the current Bond actor Daniel Craig had announced that he only wanted to shoot an agent film.
Since then, many rumors circulated about who could follow in his footsteps. At times interviewed as possible Craig successors were the actors Idris Elba, Richard Madden, Cillian Murphy and Tom Hiddleston.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Pierce Brosnan said it was time to clear the way for a double zero status secret agent. You've seen enough men in the role over the past 40 years. "Get out of the way, guys, and hire a woman," Brosnan says. "I think it would be intoxicating, it would be exciting." However, among the current producers, Brosnan considers it unlikely that a woman will star in the next film.
First female 007 agent
The British Daily Mail had reported in July 2019, referring to an unspecified source, that actress Lashana Lynch should become the first female Bond actress. The producers did not comment on the report, but had previously rejected a female 007. The 32-year-old Lynch with Jamaican roots is to take over in the 25th Bond film "No Time to Die" a role called Nomi. It is unclear whether she acts as a 007 agent.
In October 2015, immediately after the premiere of the Bond film "Specter," Daniel Craig said in an interview with Time Out magazine that he would rather cut his wrists than shoot another agent movie. The first time Craig appeared in 2006 as James Bond in the movie "Casino Royale". In August 2017, he confirmed to return one last time for the 25th Bond film "No Time to Die".
