James Bond star Pierce Brosnan hopes #MeToo will bring "more respect" between the genders but he does not think the movement will change Agent 007's character.
The 65-year-old actor, who has played the casanova British spy in four films of the franchise, said he is unaware if the new Bond films will incorporate the tectonic shift brought about by the post Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal, Metro.com reported.
Asked if he thought Bond can survive #MeToo, Brosnan said, "Well, I have no idea if the new films are going to address these social issues. I think Bond will continue in the same vein.
"I would suspect so, because men will continue to be men and women likewise. One hopes there will be more respect between the genders. You hope that good things will come out of this #MeToo movement."
