Pierce Brosnan tells PEOPLE that he agrees with the opinion of his 'MobLand' costar, Helen Mirren, that the James Bond franchise has historically been rooted in 'sexism' as to how it portrays women characters.

Director Guy Ritchie and cast lead Tom Hardy were also in attendance at the Thursday night event as Brosnan and Mirren reunite to play London crime bosses Conrad and Maeve Harrigan.

Pierce Brosnan celebrates reuniting with Helen Mirren in "MobLand," marking 45 years since their last collaboration in "The Long Good Friday."
