Brian Cox Thinks He’d Be A Great James Bond Villain, But 007 Producer Barbara Broccoli Paid The Man A Far Greater Compliment (And She Isn‘t Wrong)

Brian Cox stands behind an imposing leather chair in 007: Road to a Million.

As we’ve often found ourselves in the run up to the next era of James Bond movies, we’re all on pins and needles waiting to see who’s next cast as 007 himself. And if it was up to 007: Road to a Million star Brian Cox, he’d probably already be cast as the villain for whatever Bond 26 becomes. 

As Prime Video subscription holders will tell you, the freshly-arrived reality series is a bit of a stop gap between films, and Cox’s part as The Controller definitely proves his Bond villain credentials. However, in my recent interview with series producer Ben Allen and series director Julian Jones, there was a mention of a compliment that Ms. Broccoli paid towards this series star that was a far greater feather in the cap. And what’s more, I can’t disagree with what she said.
