Pierce Brosnan’s Best James Bond Movie Officially Makes Streaming Comeback

Fans are waiting with bated breath for Amazon MGM Studios to announce which actor has been cast as the new James Bond; the latest shortlist includes frontrunners Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, Jack O'Connell, and Jack Barton. Gary Oldman, who stars alongside Lowden in the hit Apple TV series Slow Horses, recently let slip that the studio may have already finalized the actor for the role, but is waiting for the right time to announce his name to the world. Meanwhile, former Bond star Pierce Brosnan had nothing but positive vibes for whoever will play the iconic character next. Brosnan starred as Bond in four movies, and recently returned with the second season of his blockbuster Paramount+ crime drama series MobLand. The show's return nudged audiences to revisit one of Brosnan's four Bond movies, which recently surged up the streaming charts.

The movie in question is widely regarded as Brosnan's finest hour as the suave British spy. His tenure began in 1995 and ended in 2002. His successor, Daniel Craig, played Bond in five films across 15 years, from 2006 to 2021. The gap between two Bond eras has never been as long as the one we're experiencing now. Although Denis Villeneuve has been selected to direct the next Bond movie, it would be safe to bet that the project probably won't land in theaters before 2028. This would further extend the gap between two Bond eras to seven years. All that fans of the legendary franchise can do until then is to revisit their favorite past installments.
