Pierce Brosnan is down for Cillian Murphy to play 007 in the future.
The former James Bond star, who appeared in several films including “GoldenEye” and “Tomorrow Never Dies,” named the Academy Award-nominated “Oppenheimer” actor as he spoke with the BBC at the annual Oscar Wilde Awards on Thursday.
“Cillian would do a magnificent job as James Bond on His Majesty’s Secret Service,” Brosnan said of Murphy, a fellow Irish actor.
Brosnan, who played the fictional spy prior to Daniel Craig, gave his pick for the character as questions remain over who will be the next James Bond after Craig left the role in 2021.
Murphy has been among those rumored to play the iconic character for several years as Naomie Harris –– who appeared in “Skyfall,” “Spectre” and “No Time to Die” –– once declared that she’d “totally see” the actor as Bond back in 2018.
