Actor Pierce Brosnan and former James Bond, has said it is a “given” that the next James Bond should be British.

In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, the former Bond also said he thought it was the “right decision” for the franchise’s long-standing producers to hand creative control to Amazon.

There’s been no new Bond since Daniel Craig. The choice of Daniel’s successor will be a decision for Amazon MGM Studios. James Norton, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James – who are all English – are among the bookmakers’ favourites to fill Craig’s shoes.
