James Bond (Pierce Brosnan Films)

James Bond - Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan’s portrayal of James Bond, spanning seven years, introduced a modern, gadget-centric version of the British secret agent adapted for the Information Age. While heavily reliant on high-tech weaponry and gadgets, Bond remains a highly competent martial artist and skilled in gunfights, often against superior numbers. This iteration is considered one of the most well-equipped and physically capable.
