Former Bond Star Brosnan Says Female 007 Is "a Bridge Too Far"
Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has weighed in on the possibility of a female 007, saying that he doesn't think "we're ready" for it yet.
Brosnan, who played Bond from 1995 to 2002, told The Mirror that he believes the character is "still a man's role."
"I think that's a bridge too far," he said. "That's not to say that there isn't room for a female Bond. I think there is, but not yet."
Brosnan's comments come amid growing calls for a female Bond. In 2019, Lashana Lynch made history by becoming the first woman to play 007 in the film "No Time to Die." However, Lynch's character, Nomi, was not the main Bond character, and she eventually gave up the 007 title to Daniel Craig's Bond.
Some fans have argued that the time is now for a female Bond, while others have said that the character should remain male.
"I think we're still a long way off from a female Bond," Brosnan said. "But who knows? Maybe in the future."
It remains to be seen whether the James Bond franchise will ever cast a female Bond. However, Brosnan's comments suggest that it is not something that is likely to happen anytime soon.
