Pierce Brosnan might be 72, but he'd come out of spy retirement "in a heartbeat" if new James Bond director Denis Villeneuve wanted him.

Brosnan, who starred in four Bond films as the titular character from 1995's GoldenEye to 2002's Die Another Day, joked that while he doesn't think anyone wants to see "a craggy, 72-year-old Bond," the right script would pique his interest.
