Pierce Brosnan recently revealed that he pitched an idea for a James Bond film that would have seen him return to the role as an older, more "gnarly" version of the character. His dream director for this darker, more aged take on 007 was Denis Villeneuve, known for films like Dune and Blade Runner 2049.

However, Brosnan stated that Amazon, which now owns MGM and the Bond rights, "didn't seem to be interested" in the concept, and he confirmed the project is not going to happen.

The article frames this as a fantastic idea and a missed opportunity, suggesting that a gritty, character-driven film about a weathered super-spy directed by Villeneuve would have been compelling. It draws parallels to other successful stories about aging heroes, such as Logan and The Dark Knight Returns, arguing that Brosnan's vision could have provided a unique and powerful entry in the Bond franchise.
