Pierce Brosnan has expressed his views on the next James Bond actor, insisting that they must be British. He reflected on his tenure as Bond and the franchise's transition under the new control of Amazon MGM Studios, calling it a "right decision" by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. He emphasized the need for the new management to treat the character with respect while recognizing the uncertainty of the franchise's future amidst changes in ownership. Brosnan is proud of his contributions to the Bond legacy and the film's successful revival after years of dormancy.
"In this world that is moving so fast now, at the speed of light, [the takeover] does come with a certain lament... I think it was the right decision for Barbara and Michael."
"I hope that [Amazon] handles the work and the character with dignity and imagination and respect."
"History has been passed on and I'm very proud to have been part of the history and the legacy of Bond and the movies that I made with Barbara and Michael."
"It takes great courage for them to let go... no one really knows the fate of the franchise following the new deal with Amazon."
