'He’s so strong': Former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan shares his pick for the next James Bond

The former Bond actor has given his seal of approval to 007 hopeful Callum Turner, who is rumoured to be one of the frontrunners for the coveted role. An official announcement regarding the identity of the next Bond is expected to drop before the end of the year.

Pierce Brosnan, the former James Bond actor, has shared his thoughts on the potential candidates for the next 007. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Brosnan praised the frontrunners for the role. Jack Lowden, Josh O'Connor, and Callum Turner are reportedly the leading contenders to replace Daniel Craig. Brosnan specifically commended Turner, highlighting his strength and presence on screen.

The actor, who has worked alongside all three candidates, expressed admiration for their talents and their potential longevity in the industry. Brosnan's endorsement for Turner comes as the film industry buzzes with speculation over the casting decision. Turner reportedly attended a screen test at Bray Studios in Berkshire, which some interpreted as a sign of his growing commitment to the role.

The speculation is further fueled by Turner stepping down as a director of his production company, Twentytwo Films Ltd. Brosnan also expressed his excitement for the next Bond director, Denis Villeneuve, praising his visionary and imaginative approach to filmmaking. He noted that Villeneuve's work is set to be a significant departure from past Bond films, due to Amazon's full creative control over the franchise.
