Former 007 Pierce Brosnan is reacting to Helen Mirren's criticism of the James Bond franchise. Last week, his MobLand co-star got candid during an interview with The London Standard, revealing she "never liked James Bond" because the concept is "drenched and born out of profound sexism.

Pierce Brosnan admitted to People magazine that Hellen Mirren wasn’t entirely wrong to call out the James Bond franchise for its “profound sexism.” Brosnan played 007 in four movies released between 1995 and 2002.

Pierce Brosnan expressed interest in the idea of returning as James Bond as Amazon hunts for a new actor to take over the iconic role from Daniel Craig. He weighed in on the idea during an April 2 appearance on the 'Today' show.

"James Bond" producers promised a new take on the classic super spy during CinemaCon this week, sparking fan conversation online. Reactions were mixed.

That’s because producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman have been tapped to produce the next Bond installment. They were appointed by Amazon MGM’s head of film Courtenay Valenti, who newly reports to chair Mike Hopkins after Jen Salke’s exit as studio chief.

Amazon MGM Studios executives said producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman will deliver a fresh take on James Bond during CinemaCon Wednesday.
