Pierce Brosnan Says Aaron Taylor-Johnson “Would Be Great” As 007

Although Daniel Craig might not have much to say on the topic, Pierce Brosnan has a good idea for who should take over their lead role in the 007 franchise.

When asked about speculation that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is in the running to play James Bond, Brosnan had nothing but praise for the 34-year old actor, with whom he previously worked on the 2009 drama The Greatest.

“I think he would be very good,” he told Yahoo Entertainment, adding: “I cast him in one of the movies I made a long time ago called The Greatest, actually, and he played ‘the greatest.’”

In the Shana Feste-helmed film, Brosnan and Susan Sarandon played Allen and Grace Brewer, whose son Bennett (Taylor-Johnson) dies in a car crash. Months later, they get a visit from their late son’s girlfriend Rose (Carey Mulligan), who is pregnant with his baby.

“This young man came on the set and took the space, filled the space with passion and energy,” recalled Brosnan of working with Taylor-Johnson. “So yeah, I think if he wished it, wanted it and got it, he would be great.”

Brosnan—who played Bond in GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002)—also commented on the new 007 partnership between Amazon MGM Studios and returning producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, saying he wishes “them all well.”

After announcing that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the next film in the franchise, Amazon MGM’s Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll said at CinemaCon on Friday that the pair of “filmmaking legends” is currently in London working on the film.

“We are committed to honoring the legacy of this iconic character, while bringing a fresh, exhilarating new chapter to audiences around the world alongside Amy and David,” said Valenti, head of Film, Streaming and Theatrical. “They are both in London getting started and couldn’t be here tonight, but we wanted to thank them for what we know will be an incredible partnership. Thank you, Amy and David!”
