Brosnan, who starred in four Bond films as the titular character from 1995's GoldenEye to 2002's Die Another Day, joked that while he doesn't think anyone wants to see "a craggy, 72-year-old Bond," the right script would pique his interest.

One former James Bond actor wouldn’t mind starring in Denis Villeneuve’s 007 movie. Dune and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to direct the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios.

It’s a long shot, admittedly. But Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in four movies ( GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day ), says he’s up for the challenge. Speaking to the Radio Times, the 72-year-old actor had a good-natured reaction to being asked if he thought the time was right for “a senior citizen 007.”
