They knew that NTTD would be Craig's last Bond. As early as 2017, Craig announced his intention to exist the role. It's, now, five years later. I can't believe that EON hasn't even thought about who will replace Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,249 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Michael G. Wilson reveals that younger actors are out of the running ”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.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,576 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 But... I thought the whole point of the Casino Royale opening was that he only JUST got his OO status with those two kills! Not that Daniel Craig was *super* young, but they were clearly going for a relatively inexperienced Bond there, and it worked out great!

Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Mmm. Can't help thinking that Bond's occasional displays of petulance in CR would've worked better with the twentysomething Cavill than the late-30s Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothless 963 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I really don't see Cavill or Hardy playing Bond just because they are way too well known. I can see Richard Madden, Taron Egerton. Or Phil Dunster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think Idris Elba would probably be a good Bond, judging by many of his earlier performances, Charles Miner excluded lol. Now he is too old though as the producers want to cast a Bond who can do multiple films over a 10-12 year time period. It's too bad that he has a similar age to Craig.

GerateWohl 4,320 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 They could make a sequel to No Time to Die and Bond just apears in flashback out of outtakes from the previous movies like this Pink Panther movie after Peter Sellers past away.

Yavar Moradi 2,576 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 @Mephariel, agreed on Regé-Jean Page. He’d be an amazing Bond and I thought so immediately upon seeing him in the terrible Bridgerton show where he somehow rose above the material. He’s got that Bond swagger and charm. But I can’t agree with you about Elba being too old. I’m pretty sure Roger Moore was 41 when he *first* starred as Bond… and let’s just say, Elba is aging much more gracefully than Moore. And his physical chops are without peer. Maybe he couldn’t do five films like Craig did, but I’m sure he could manage three (or even two films, like Dalton did, would make me happy).

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I wouldn't describe his face as handsome, nor would I describe it as displeasing necessarily though. It's just a pretty weird face (for a TV star). Craig was a fairly non-traditional choice at the time, but he was certainly handsome in that ruggedly masculine way.

Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Michael G Wilson recently stated that they will be looking for someone in their thirties, the intention doesn't seem to be another reboot (which I guess some might've expected after the end of NTTD) rather for him to already be a fairly experienced agent. This of course is the opposite approach to the last time, when the late-thirties Craig was cast as a 'rookie' Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 There's surely a middle ground between Moore's goofier excesses and the gloomiest Craig stuff, which I think they should aim for.
