007 Star Pierce Brosnan Backs Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Take on James Bond Baton; Find Out

As a devoted admirer, I’m excited to share insights about the next contender for the iconic tuxedo. Pierce Brosnan, who brought James Bond to life in four unforgettable films, has endorsed Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a promising candidate. In his view, Taylor-Johnson is passionate, full of energy, and perfectly fit for the role.

In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Brosnan reminisced about working alongside Taylor-Johnson on the 2009 drama “The Greatest.” There, he first recognized the budding actor’s talent. “I believe he has a lot of potential,” said Brosnan, expressing his admiration for Taylor-Johnson’s ability to lead on set with “passion and dynamism.” He further commented, “If he sets his sights, strives for it, and achieves it, he would excel tremendously.

In 1995, Pierce Brosnan began portraying James Bond in GoldenEye and continued through Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999), and Die Another Day (2002). His tenure ended with Daniel Craig stepping into the role for six films, concluding with No Time to Die in 2021. This year, Amazon MGM Studios has acquired the Bond franchise, creating excitement about who will take over as the next 007.

Last year, Seth Abramovitch, a senior writer at The Hollywood Reporter, suggested that the next James Bond might not be Taylor-Johnson, but instead Josh O’Connor from The Crown, an English actor on the verge of becoming a household name.

Though the final choice for the role is yet to be revealed, Brosnan’s endorsement certainly boosts Taylor-Johnson’s chances. Regardless if he becomes the new Bond, the upcoming actor will surely face the challenge of filling large footsteps and living up to the “license to thrill.
