James Bond producer says Bond will be a “thirty-something”, so who will it be?
James Bond producer says Bond will be a “thirty-something”, so who will it be? ^ | 1-5-2023 | Nancy Durrant

Speculation about who is going to be the next James Bond reemerges every time any young, tallish actor makes an impression in a role that requires wearing a suit.

When Daniel Craig’s long-awaited Bond swansong landed, one of the first things we thought about was who will eventually succeed poor old Craig, who was beginning to look a bit weary by the end.

Now, the great rumour mill has begun to turn again, as producer Michael G Wilson has said that the next actor will be “a thirty-something”.

Speaking at an In Conversation event at London’s British Film Institute, Wilson said: “We’ve tried looking at younger people in the past. But trying to visualize it doesn’t work. Remember, Bond’s already a veteran. He’s had some experience.

“He’s a person who has been through the wars, so to speak. He’s probably been in the SAS or something. He isn’t some kid out of high school that you can bring in and start off. That’s why it works for a thirty-something.”

I mostly read the article to see how many of the possible replacements for Daniel Craig I would recognize. It was about 50/50.

“He’s probably been in the SAS or something.”

Laziest back-story ever.

The Bond franchise should be retired. The original Bond in Fleming’s fiction was a WWII veteran. The creative geniuses of Hollywood ought to be able to dream up an appropriate MI6 replacement!

I hope it’s prince Harry and the whole movie is him trying to dodge bullets with Megan on speakerphone telling him about mundane aspects of her day and how inadequite he is. He’s fearless in the face of death because no death can be worse than another day married to that succubus. Megan will get no screen time but insist on a co-executive producer credit.

Timothy Busfield was a regular character on Thirtysomething, so he should be James Bond. Timothy Busfield played a nerd in Revenge of the Nerds, also.

Hiddleston, Elba, and Mirren would all be better cast as Bond Villians.

This is how Fleming described Bond in his first novel Casino Royale; “Bond reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless.”

Bond isn’t supposed to stand out in a crowd or be remarkable looking.

So, you want it to be a documentary.

How can they credibly bring back a character they killed off in the last Bond movie?

They can’t, so it may as well be a black, lesbian, transgender, cross dressing, handicapped ‘thing’ in a wheelchair.
