James Bond: Pierce Brosnan backs Tom Hardy and Idris Elba in race to be the next 007
Daniel Craig’s final James Bond movie No Time To Die hits cinemas in late September, but speculation over the next 007 is as rife as ever. The incumbent’s predecessor Pierce Brosnan recently weighed in on who he thinks could take up the Licence to Kill in the 2020s. At first, the 68-year-old said he had no idea, before backing Idris Elba and Tom Hardy.
Speaking with People, Brosnan said: “Idris Elba comes to mind.
“Idris is such a powerful presence and such a great former voice tensity. He would be magnificent.
“There’s Tom Hardy out there as well. Tom can really chew the furniture up, just be a ball boy – both men can.”
But whoever is the next Bond should be in for a wild ride, as the GoldenEye star believes Craig’s legacy has only benefited the franchise.
