The hype about the latest James Bond film has been increasing as time passes, this time, Pierce Brosnan has also released a statement about the film.

As reported by Screen Rant, the former Bond actor went on an interview with Details and revealed some insights about the possibility of a new portrayal for his former role that made him famous in Hollywood.

After he was asked whether or not he'd be open to James Bond being portrayed in future movies as gay, the actor quickly said yes, he would be very much open to that idea.

"Sure," Brosnan said. "Why not? Actually, I don't know how it would work. I don't think Barbara [Broccoli] would allow a gay Bond to happen in her lifetime. But it would certainly make for interesting viewing."

"Let's start with a great black actor being James Bond," he added. "Idris Elba certainly has the physicality, the charisma, the presence. But I think Daniel [Craig] will be there for a while yet."

After he released his statements, numerous fans expressed their mixed reactions on their own social media sites. Some said that Pierce Brosnan seems to be mocking the James Bond character, while some are viewing it as a bold move leaning towards the positive side.

As to what he thinks of gay marriage being legalized in the United States, he said that he did not think it was happen.

"I never thought in a million years, but hallelujah! Enough of the shaming," the actor shared. "It's a great indication of the forward-thinking of a nation that's been so mangled by religion."

In other news, Brosnan was also asked who he wishes to work with in Hollywood.

"I've always admired Robert De Niro," the actor said. "I met him briefly decades ago at a 'Night of 100 Stars.' "I went up to commit my greatest admiration, and he was talking to some punk chick. He said, 'Meet Sally,' and walked away. So I was stuck with some girl called Sally, who I had no interest in whatsoever."

Pierce Brosnan has since made headlines after he released his statement about James Bond.
