Brosnan expresses concern: what happens next for the new Bond?
Actor Pierce Brosnan, 71, who made a splash as James Bond in the past, expresses his concerns about the future of the famous spy franchise after Amazon took over creative control. In an interview with the British Telegraph, he admitted that he had been toying with the idea that this change was coming for some time. Brosnan, who played Bond from 1995 to 2002, stressed that it takes courage to break away from control and fervently hopes that the legacy will continue with respect and imagination. “In this fast-moving world, change comes with some regret,” he added.
Takeover by Amazon causes uncertainty
Amazon's takeover of MGM, which has held a 50 percent stake in the company since 2022, has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Critics fear that the film series could lose value. While information about the upcoming films is still pending, there is already speculation as to who could succeed Daniel Craig. Chris Hemsworth is currently considered the hot favorite. In this context, Brosnan said that the next Bond should be British in order to stay true to tradition.
According to Brosnan, it remains uncertain to what extent Amazon will influence the style and quality of the franchise. He expressed pride in being part of Bond's legacy. "The story has been carried forward, and I'm very proud to be a part of that history and legacy," he said, noting that the time of longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will end, which makes him sad. The question remains as to how the changes will affect future films and whether the franchise can continue to maintain the usual quality and charm of one of the oldest and most successful film series in history.
Again ScreenRant reported, there is a lot of uncertainty among fans about the next steps, while Brosnan is urging his fans to watch the change not only with skepticism, but also with hope.
This crucial phase could see the future of James Bond being reset, and the world is eagerly awaiting official announcements.
