Pierce Brosnan Reflects on ‘MobLand’ Finale and Longstanding Roles in Bond and Mamma Mia!
In a wide-ranging interview with *The Hollywood Reporter*, Pierce Brosnan opens up about the finale of *MobLand*, his role as Conrad Harrigan, and touches on iconic projects like *James Bond* and *Mamma Mia!*. In *MobLand*’s season one finale, Conrad, now imprisoned, is hailed by fellow inmates, signifying his continued power and respect within the criminal underworld. Brosnan reveals the scene was inspired by *The Italian Job* and was shot in the historic Reading Gaol, where Oscar Wilde was once imprisoned.
Tensions within the Harrigan family reach a peak: Kevin discovers Eddie is actually Conrad’s son, severing trust and hinting at a possible power shift. Additionally, pivotal moments include the death of Richie Stevenson and a shocking scene where Tom Hardy’s character Harry is stabbed by his wife, though Brosnan believes Harry will survive.
Beyond *MobLand*, Brosnan comments on the future of James Bond, praising Tom Hardy as a strong candidate. He also addresses rumors about a *Remington Steele* revival and keeps the identity of Sophie’s real father in *Mamma Mia!* under wraps—though he claims to know who it is. The actor expresses interest in continuing *MobLand* with potential future seasons and recalls how the show’s intensity attracted both him and co-star Helen Mirren.
