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

Although Daniel Craig might not have much to say, 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. 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. “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.
