Former 007 Pierce Brosnan is reacting to Helen Mirren’s criticism of the James Bond franchise. Last week, his MobLand co-star got candid during an interview with The London Standard, revealing she “never liked James Bond” because the concept is “drenched and born out of profound sexism.”

Jason Bell/Paramount+ Pierce Brosnan is the patriarch of an Irish crime family in the new series MobLand. The show, which comes from Guy Ritchie, drops new episodes every Sunday exclusively on Paramount+.

Pierce Brosnan says despite recently voicing that the James Bond role is now for another actor, he'd pick up the phone if fans and the film studio really wanted him back.
