After five Bond movies, Daniel Craig, now 57, is succumbing to the rule that whatever else 007s can be, they can’t be a senior citizen. Pierce Brosnan, distinguished member of the Old Bonds’ Association, lent his airy weight to the argument by saying the next Bond must be British. It’s all as terrifying as a boys’ school going co-ed.

Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan told The Telegraph that the next 007 agent should be British and hopes that Amazon will do the franchise justice.

What will become of James Bond? That’s the question very much on the minds of Brits — and millions more 007 fans around the world — now that the suave superspy, played most recently by Daniel Craig, is an employee of Amazon.

The James Bond franchises has resisted spinoffs and TV shows for over 60 years, but this could be about to change after Amazon’s takeover.
