Pierce Brosnan has said, or am I dreaming it?, that he would return as 007 in Bond21, and maybe Bond22. This would push his total of Bond movies to equal Connery (as I do not count 'Never Say Never Again'). Six!

Then what we must take into account is the fact that Connery was in early forties when he quit the role after 'Diamonds Are Forever'. Brosnan was in his early forties when he assumed the role. Could he do a Moore and look too old (because I think Roger Moore did look too old later on).

On the other hand, Brosnan is exceptional in the role and would this matter?

Whaddaya all think?

The big mistake they made with Roger was trying to pretend he was still thirty five.

I could see Brosnan continuing in the role if the writers acknowlege the passing of time, and gently change the character into the veteran agent, surviving on savvy and experience, rather than lightning reflexes and inexhaustible stamina.

You'd still have terrific action, but Bond would rely more on his brains and guile than improbable physical feats.

See my story about this:

Bond 21 (2004) Bond 22 (2007) Bond 23 (2011)

I think one more time is enough for Brosnan. I love him dearly and it pains me to say it but in four year's time he may look wrong. But let's leave it for four years and see if he still looks as hot as he does now (Xenobia will back me up here).

I agree. So long as Pierce doesn't lose the look he has now (which is somewhat more rugged than GE or TND) then I think he's definitely good for two maybe three more films after DAD. It all depends on his appearance and if he wants to do it. Unlike AVTAK which was just Moore wanting to do it.

No. No. No. Jethro is the the Double-Naught Spy, not Jed.

Pierce Brosnan is, far and away, my favorite James Bond. He's an exceptional actor and he's been doing an outstanding job in the role thus far. He's also aging far better than most men. In my opinion, he's got plenty of good years as 007 yet and can certainly look good in two more films. I would like nothing more than to have six solid Brosnan films in the Bond film legacy. If he's up to doing two more, I'm certainly along for the ride.

I will back you up how Dr. Cheese? That he looks hot now....absolutely.

And let me say something else....he will look this good in four years. Pierce Brosnan is aging very, very, slowly. The man who appeared in Goldeneye looks remarkably like the man who appeared in the last season of Remington Steele.

And even today, unless he is wearing a beard, you can't tell how old Pierce Brosnan really is.

What the hell...let me go on the record: If he wishes to, I bet he could tie Moore's record...and Brosnan will look as good in his seventh movie, as Moore did in his fourth!

I think Bond is a superspy in his prime, so he would need to be athletic and physical to survive.

If Brosnan can pull that off for the next 2, 3 or 4 movies, then good.
