It would be good, but Brosnan isn’t wrong.

I’d love it if he came back.
I’m going to go and say it: I think it’s likely. Not necessarily very likely, but I think that’s something Amazon would do. Maybe a series, like Ewan McGregor coming back to play Obi Wan Kenobi for Disney+ (which was originally going to be a film).

Seems more like a fan wish to me and very, very unlikely, especially when he himself clearly has reservations about it.
Amazon will go for someone who also appeals primarily to a younger audience and for most young people, Brosnan is just one of those old actors who once played him, but whose return they are not exactly looking forward to.

I certainly think it would be a good idea to cast someone young and fashionable.
Depends how quickly Amazon will want to get on with it.
Such is the money in play that it may be feasible to make both a Brosnan film and a new actor film quite close together or even simultaneously. After all, DC had three Batmans at the same time a couple of years ago.
Pierce would bite off their arm to play it again. It took him years to get over losing the role in 2004.

We always get carried away and think of the best case scenario. Coming back could be a victory lap or an unnecessary misstep. It’s usually the latter. Is it worth Brosnan flipping that coin if the status quo, which has been settled since 2002, is fine the way it is? Sure, DAD has a reputation that trends negative. But it’s not enough to diminish the love those fans have for the man and his era.
Brosnan has said he didn’t quite nail the role, and if a miniseries didn’t meet expectations that comment could become amplified. I think Brosnan could deliver, but sometimes it’s best to leave mystery and have people ask what if?
