A Woman Cannot Play James Bond: Surely?
Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan thinks it would be “exciting” for the next Bond to be a woman but fans are not happy about it.
The four-time James Bond actor told The Hollywood Reporter it's now time for a woman to take on the role.
"I think we've watched the guys do it for the last 40 years, get out of the way, guys, and put a woman up there," Brosnan told the outlet. "I think it would be exhilarating, it would be exciting," he said.
The films he made as the well-dressed adventurer were the highlights of his career, he said.
"James Bond has a certain significance and a deep pride," he told The Reporter. "I will be asked about him until my dying days -- it just goes with the territory. He's a beloved character."
The 25th James Bond movie, starring Daniel Craig, will grace theaters in the UK on April 3 and travel over to the US by April 8.
It will be titled "No Time to Die."

....why want the next JB to be a woman..?!what's the point in that?!...James Bond is a man...thats how it should continue!— 🍀Billy🥀 (@secretgarden369) September 9, 2019
What is the problem with JAMES BOND being a man?— Carl Mutch (@Carlmutch10) September 9, 2019
That’s the character, like Wonder Woman or super woman.
I can think of no man that would suggest any of those be ‘wonder man!’
The most powerful woman in this land is a ‘QUEEN’!
Do you hear any male calling for her to be ‘PERSON’?
Anyone who thinks James Bond should be a female isn’t on rate bus— Cal (@CalRhodes9) September 9, 2019
I agree Tom 100% James Bond has always been a man and always should be it would be so weird having a woman play James bond and it wouldnt be the same and whoever disagrees is a SJW who knows nothing about the Bond films— Ertan Nebi (@ertan_nebi) September 9, 2019
