Pierce Brosnan says he is game to dust off the tux—at 72. The former 007 admitted he’d “look at it in a heartbeat” if the next Bond director, Denis Villeneuve, “had something up his sleeve,” in an interview with Radio Times.

"The Thursday Murder Club" star Pierce Brosnan revealed he'd be open to a James Bond franchise return if director Denis Villeneuve had "something up his sleeve."

It’s a long shot, admittedly. But Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in four movies ( GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day ), says he’s up for the challenge. Speaking to the Radio Times, the 72-year-old actor had a good-natured reaction to being asked if he thought the time was right for “a senior citizen 007.”
