Pierce Brosnan saved the world four times as James Bond, a career milestone he cites as his biggest achievement.
The actor says now is the time to pass the legendary role onto a woman, as Lashana Lynch is rumored to take over as the next 007 from Daniel Craig in the upcoming No Time to Die installment.
“Yes!' Brosnan said of the prospect of a female Bond. "I think we've watched the guys do it for the last 40 years, get out of the way, guys, and put a woman up there. I think it would be exhilarating, it would be exciting,” he said.
However, he expressed doubt that the change will play out on screen under the current producers. “I don't think that's going to happen with the Broccolis. I don't think that is going to happen under their watch," he said.
As for how the franchise should approach the seductive spy character in the #MeToo era, Brosnan said Bond will have to change with the times.
“Without question, yes... The #MeToo movement has been relevant and significant and well needed in our society, so they'll have to address that,” he said.

I said goodbye to Dr Who when they had a lesbian sidekick, then the doctor became a woman. Apparently, there are no stories with females ? so script writers have to steal male roles. They have zero creativity!
