It’s a long shot, admittedly. But Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in four movies ( GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day ), says he’s up for the challenge. Speaking to the Radio Times, the 72-year-old actor had a good-natured reaction to being asked if he thought the time was right for “a senior citizen 007.”

Although Pierce Brosnan hung up his bow tie and golden gun in 2002, he would be up for a return in Denis Villeneuve's James Bond film 'in a heartbeat.'

One former James Bond actor wouldn’t mind starring in Denis Villeneuve’s 007 movie. Dune and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to direct the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios.
