Pierce Brosnan has commented positively on the official – according to most international outlets – offer to Aaron Taylor-Johnson to play James Bond in the new film.
Brosnan, who played the secret agent from the 1990s and early 2000s in GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day and Tomorrow Never Dies, believes the 33-year-old actor is right for the role.
Specifically, Brosnan said in a recent report: “He was the best in The Greatest. So, yes, I read the news about the possibility of Bond. I think he has the skills, talent and charisma to play Bond, in a big way.”
According to The Sun, the 33-year-old actor has yet to officially accept the role, but many international agencies are already describing him as the next cinematic 007 agent.
