Brosnan: Next James Bond Must Remain British

Following Amazon's recent acquisition of creative control over the James Bond franchise, former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan emphasized that the next 007 should be British, countering speculation about American actors being in the running. Brosnan commended long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson for their courage in relinquishing control after three decades, expressing hope that Amazon will treat the franchise with dignity and respect. Despite concerns from fans about potential changes to the character, a source from Amazon confirmed that Bond will remain male and British or from the Commonwealth. Brosnan acknowledged the inevitable changes this acquisition brings, admitting a sense of lament but agreeing it was the right decision for the producers. As the debate continues over potential successors, names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Andrew Garfield are mentioned alongside American contenders like Oscar Isaac. With the franchise now under Amazon, it remains uncertain how future installments will unfold.
