In 1986, following the retirement of Roger Moore as James Bond, Brosnan, whose Remington Steele series had just ended, was announced as his successor. The attendant publicity resulted in Steele receiving a last-minute renewal, and Brosnan had to back out of the role, which then went to Timothy Dalton. Dalton would make two critically popular but commercially disappointing Bond films. Legal squabbles over ownership of the Bond film franchise resulted in the 1991 Bond film being cancelled as the series went on a hiatus. During this time, Dalton announced he was no longer interested in playing Bond, which opened the door for Brosnan to win the role in 1994.
Brosnan is aware of the dangers of becoming typecast as James Bond, and asked EON Productions when he took on the role to be allowed time off between films to work on another project. This request was granted, and Brosnan usually appears in two other films for every time he plays James Bond (including several that he has produced). For a time there was a rumor that Brosnan was forbidden by his Bond contract from appearing in a tuxedo in any non-Bond film, but this turned out to be false.

Brosnan's appearance in the next James Bond film (working title: Bond 21) was the subject of major press speculation early in 2004. The Daily Mail published an article in February 2004 claiming that Brosnan had been sacked and that EON Productions were looking for a newer, younger actor, based on an un-named source within EON. This was duly picked up by newspapers and websites across the world. After a few days, the rumour was officially denied by a range of people: by EON themselves, by Brosnan, by MGM, and by the agent of Hugh Jackman, who had been widely touted to replace Brosnan. Even after the denials, in July 2004 Brosnan was quoted in Entertainment Weekly saying "That's it, I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond. Bond is another lifetime behind me." As the summer of 2004 progressed, an endless stream of potential new Bonds were rumored and even falsely announced by some media as the next Bond, though EON Productions has yet to make any official announcement. Among the reported front-runners: Eric Bana, Clive Owen, James Purefoy , Jude Law, Gerard Butler, and longshot Orlando Bloom. Brosnan, himself, is not considered out of the running, either. In September 2004 Brosnan stated that Entertainment Weekly had misquoted him and that he actually meant that he was done talking about James Bond. In October 2004, however, Brosnan claimed that he was fired and that "its absolutely over". Regardless, rumors still persist as to who will take over the role of James Bond with latest gossip in November 2004 that Brosnan is backing Colin Farrell to take over from him.
Brosnan has repeatedly stated that he would like Bond-21 to be his final outing (if he gets the role): perhaps mindful that fans and critics weren't too happy about Roger Moore playing the role well into his 50's.
