“Actually, I don’t know how it would work,” he continued.

But it would certainly make for interesting viewing.”

Rather, Brosnan thinks it is more likely that we’ll live to see a black actor embodying the iconic secret agent, alluding to the longstanding rumors that “Wire” and “Luther” star Idris Elba is next in line for the role.
