Although Pierce Brosnan hung up his bow tie and golden gun in 2002, he would be up for a return in Denis Villeneuve's James Bond film 'in a heartbeat.'

Pierce Brosnan might be 72, but he'd come out of spy retirement "in a heartbeat" if new James Bond director Denis Villeneuve wanted him.

Still, Brosnan admitted he’s as curious as anyone to see who gets the official 007 mantle. After Amazon took over the franchise and locked in Villeneuve as director with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight writing the script, fan speculation has been nonstop.
