Could it be that the stars are aligning for Pierce Brosnan’s triumphant return to the iconic role of James Bond? In a captivating twist of fate, the 71-year-old actor recently hinted at the possibility during an appearance on The Today Show, quipping, “They know where to find me.” Now, I don’t know about you, but with the current planetary vibes nudging us towards fresh beginnings, could this be the perfect time for a Never Say Never Again scenario? Once thought to be long gone with the arrival of Daniel Craig’s darker 007, the Brosnan era seems to be making a cheeky comeback, especially with Amazon now steering the ship of the Bond franchise. Brosnan’s hints at returning come as he promotes his new series MobLand, where he shares the screen with another star who could look good in a tux—Tom Hardy.
The tumultuous exit of Brosnan from the franchise still leaves many fans wondering if he deserves a proper farewell—especially considering how his departure was shrouded in some controversy. The man literally had blockbuster hits under his belt, yet he got the dreaded “phone call” treatment from the producers. Now, with fresh ownership and possibly a new vision for Bond, the question looms over us: Should Brosnan don the tux one last time or should we be ushering in a new era entirely? Grab your martinis, folks, because this conversation is bound to stir up some spirited debate!
Pierce Brosnan seems surprisingly open to playing James Bond again, noting, “they know where to find me.”
Never Say Never Again? While it looked like the Pierce Brosnan era came and went in the wake of the franchise’s reboot with Daniel Craig, things seem a little more flexible now. With Amazon now owning the rights to the James Bond franchise and actively working on a new direction for the series, fans are hoping the now seventy-one-year-old Brosnan might get one more kick at the can. While promoting his new TV series, MobLand, in which he co-stars against another popular choice to play 007, Tom Hardy, Brosnan was asked on The Today Show if he thought he could still play the role.
“In a pinch,” he said, adding, “Let’s see where the wind takes us. Let’s see what happens. They know where to find me…why not?” While it seems likely Amazon will want to choose a young actor to usher us into a new era of 007, a lot of Bond fans think Brosnan deserves a proper send off. His departure as Bond was highly controversial, as all of his films had been major hits, and he was eager to reprise the role. While the producers understandably figured the series needed a refresh in the wake of Die Another Day (which was still the highest-grossing Bond film of all time up to that point), many felt Brosnan was shafted by the producers. In fact, Brosnan himself took issue with the fact that he was dismissed from the role via a phone call from the Broccoli family saying, “I was utterly shocked and just kicked to the kerb with the way it went down.”
With the Broccoli family now out of the picture, Brosnan suddenly seems way more open to the idea of reprising his role for one final go-round. Whether or not it should happen is another thing. Part of me thinks Amazon needs to somewhat reinvent the franchise in the same way the Broccoli family did with Casino Royale, but I also hated the way Brosnan was treated, as he deserved a proper send-off. A one-off with all the trimmings might rectify a huge injustice.
