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.”

There are no blacks available. They are all doing TV commercials.
A disabled black Trans lesbian.
My wife and I noticed the overly-large presence of blacks in ads. 20% of population = 90% of ads???
These days? Probably Lizzo.
Give Hardy the Timothy Dalton treatment. He’s not that much older than Norton anyway. Then after 2 or 3 really violent pics, give it to Tom Holland.
It’ll be Jamira Bond, a 30-something who identifies as a non gender binary queer trans three spirit lesbian non-woman who speaks Spanish and Cherokee who is into fat-acceptance who identifies as a non-binary Basset Hound only during leap years and has a peanut allergy.
I do feel like its time to retire Bond. If they make him Black, then that will probably kill the franchise too.
Kingsman: The Secret Service might possibly be the worst movie ever made, even if only slightly worse than the last hour of James Bond: No Time To Die.
Give the role to Theo James of Divergent fame.
Bond had a nice long run. I’m sure Hollweird will ruin the franchise. Maybe a spinoff, with Q as the main character. I always enjoyed Q.
I’m not too concerned. The last James Bond movie I saw was one of the Roger Moore ones, whichever one had that spiral car jump.
He looks.....French.
It is hard to duplicate the schools, training, experience, and long-term vetting processes that a special ops background supplies.
12%, not 20%.
Exactly
A lesbian.
Will the character be a tranny-inny or a tranny-outy?
If no one is going to post pics of handsome 30 something British men, what exactly is the point here?
