JAKARTA - Helen Mirren expressed her opinion that the James Bond franchise should still be played by a man, not a woman. This was explained while she was promoting their latest series, Thursday Murder Club, with Pierce Brosnan.
Pierce Brosnan, who plays James Bond, was then asked a question by Mirren, a veteran actor.
"I'm a feminist, but James Bond has to be a man. You can't cast a woman. It just won't work," Helen Mirren told Deadline.
"James Bond has to be James Bond, or it'll be something else," she said.
Previously, Mirren said the concept of James Bond was born from sexism and a spirit of adventure that seemed to reflect the male side.
"Women have always been a central and crucial part of The Service, they always have been. And incredibly brave. If you hear about what women did in the French Resistance, they were extraordinary, incredibly brave," she said.
Pierce Brosnan also learned about Amazon MGM's current plans for the next James Bond film, which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve.
"I hope they succeed. I'm really looking forward to seeing who the next actor is to bring this character to life," said Pierce Brosnan.
"I've enjoyed the world of James Bond; it's been great for me. It's a gift that keeps on being a gift. And I remember now being in the audience, sitting down, and saying, 'Show me what you're going to do,'" he said.
