james bond today is more as a brand. The earlier bonds were people with skills, but certainly lacked the charisma to stirr up the pre- movie hype big time. Brosna is certainly more charismatic, he is a poster guy. Hence, please notice that all the brosnan bond flicks has been done with a side motve of inmovie advertising. The requiements of a james bond as a character has dramtically changed. He is no longer just a brit agent. He is a guy who wears omega, drives martin or BMW and also plays and makes all these rather obvious.
