Pierce Brosnan rules out James Bond return: “I’m not looking to go there”

Pierce Brosnan has ruled out the possibility of returning as James Bond.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that Amazon MGM Studios is now steering the course for the future of our beloved franchise. The news broke this week about Amy Pascal from Spider-Man and David Heyman from Harry Potter stepping into their roles as the new producers. Can’t wait to see where they take us next!

There’s a lot of talk going around regarding who might take on the role of the next James Bond, and the comeback of Pierce Brosnan, a beloved Bond from the late 90s and early 00s, is one of those possibilities.

On the recent episode of “The Jonathan Ross Show,” Brosnan expressed his belief that it’s high time for a fresh face to take over.

Initially, I haven’t been approached about it, but I’ve caught wind of the whispers. Here’s the thing, they know how to reach me. So, let’s go with the flow and see where this adventure leads us.

Initially, he had indicated that he might reprise his famous role, but later on, he unequivocally stated that he won’t follow in the footsteps of David Tennant by returning to his most recognized character.

He informs the host that someone else will handle the task at hand. He has no intention of taking part and is content with his current career path. It was a pleasure for him, an enjoyable thought to consider.

“[Bond is]with me for life,” he continues. “It was great. A magical time in my life.

This opportunity paved the way for me to venture out on my own and establish my own production company where I produced films like ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and ‘The Matador’. It expanded my horizons as an actor, offering me access to a new realm of work opportunities.

One possible factor influencing his choice could be the numerous injuries he endured (or barely escaped) throughout his time as Bond, a topic he delves into during the interview.

On Saturday evening at 9:20 PM, you can catch “The Jonathan Ross Show” on ITV1 and STV. It is also available for streaming on ITVX and STV Player. Please note that some quotes may not appear in the final version of the show.
