Pierce Brosnan has spied the next James Bond — and it’s Cillian Murphy.Brosnan, who starred as James Bond in four movies, says that Murphy (“Oppenheimer,” “Peaky Blinders”) is the natural choice to play the dashing secret agent on the big screen.“Cillian would do a magnificent job as James Bond on His Majesty’s Secret Service,” Brosnan said at the Oscar Wilde Awards in LA Thursday night, according to Variety.

Ellise Shafer Former “James Bond” star Pierce Brosnan has made his pick for who should play the iconic spy next: Cillian Murphy. At the Oscar Wilde Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night, Brosnan was asked by the BBC for his opinion on which actor should play Bond after Daniel Craig retired from the role in 2021.
Pierce Brosnan has said that Cillian Murphy would be “magnificent” in the role of James Bond.Speaking at the annual Oscar Wilde awards in Los Angeles, Brosnan told the BBC that Murphy would “do a magnificent job as James Bond on His Majesty’s Secret Service.”The two Irish actors were in attendance at the event which took place at JJ Abram’s Bad Robot Productions in Santa Monica, and celebrates the accomplishments of Irish actors and filmmakers.The fictional secret agent, played by Brosnan between 1995 and 2002, has been portrayed by seven actors since the franchise’s first release in 1962, Dr. No, in which the role was played by Sean Connery.Following Daniel Craig’s exit from the series in No Time To Die in 2021, there has been heavy rumour around who would succeed the iconic role, with Murphy being just one of the actors to be suggested for the 007 part.
Cillian Murphy has been tipped by one of his co-stars in Oppenheimer to be the next James Bond.Rumours about the identity of the next Bond have been rampant ever since Daniel Craig revealed back in 2019 that No Time To Die would be his final time playing the character.And now, Clay Bunker, who appeared in Christopher Nolan’s recent opus alongside Murphy, thinks that the Irish actor could be the ideal candidate.“He would fare beautifully,” he said (via The Sun). “It’s funny because Cillian is the nicest human but he has that dark side and there’s a darkness to Bond.”Bunker continued: “We forget that sometimes Bond is like the character Fleming created – a pretty dark character.
