Why Can' Bond Be Scottish Again?

[JoeyVimsanteThe]

Sean Connery did a great job as Bond. Yet now all Bond actors have to use an English accent when playing Bond. Why is that?
Surely we should have another Bond with a Scottish accent again!

The Bond actors bring themselves to the role. Sean Connery's Bond talked with a Scottish accent because that is how Sean Connery sounded. Not that deep.

Pierce Brosnan is Irish. Timothy Dalton is Welsh. And one-and-done George Lazenby is Australian.

The funny thing is, Connery was at least trying to attempt an English accent with Bond. His Scottish brogue was just too strong to contain.
