  "summary": "Pierce Brosnan expressed eagerness to see the next era of the James Bond franchise in a new interview. According to Variety, the former 007 star gave his seal of approval to Callum Turner, stating that he could see Turner in the role.\n\nThe Hollywood Reporter noted that Brosnan weighed in on the actors being considered for the role as well as director Denis Villeneuve taking over the franchise. While some are speculating that Turner may have landed the role, Euronews reports that Kristin Scott Thomas has described Jack Lowden, a reported frontrunner for the part, as a very good actor who is cheeky and has a twinkle.",
