Summary
- Pierce Brosnan believes the next James Bond could be an unknown actor.
- Auditions for the 007 role occurred over the summer of 2026.
- Tom Ellis claims Brosnan told him he would make a good Bond.
Pierce Brosnan, offering his perspective on the ongoing search for the next James Bond, has voiced a surprising prediction. He believes the production team might opt for a completely unknown actor, rather than a widely recognized name. Brosnan stated that while many talented actors are being considered, an unexpected choice is a distinct possibility.
Auditions for the coveted role reportedly took place throughout the summer of 2026. Brosnan himself, who portrayed Bond from 1995 to 2002, has expressed his disinterest in returning, preferring to watch as an audience member. He also humorously declined to name any specific candidates, citing his wife's advice.
Despite Brosnan's reticence, his co-star Tom Ellis revealed that the former Bond actor had previously told him he would be a good fit for the role. However, Ellis noted that he believes he might be too old for the part now. Nina Gold, known for her work on 'Game of Thrones' and 'Star Wars,' was reported to have been hired as the casting director in March 2026.
