Brian Cox signed on to 007: Road to a Million because he thought it was the next James Bond movie. The 25th Bond film, No Time to Die, was released in theaters in October 2021, marking Daniel Craig’s final portrayal of the British MI6 agent after five films. Since then, Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have been working on recasting the role and rebooting the continuity. Meanwhile, the producers also agreed to make the reality competition series, 007: Road to a Million, hosted by Brian Cox.
