James Bond Casting, If your dream bond is over 40s, Don’t dream its over!

James Bond is getting played by an actor who can do the role for 10 to 12 years. So they are looking for a lad in his late 20s and early 30s. Barbara Broccoli, the copyright owner, and Michael G. Wilson wanted an actor who could dedicate his Youth to playing 007. They probably do not want another George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton who called it quits after 1 to 2 films. I am sure all of you already have your personal list of actors that You want to play the iconic womanizer. Narrow down your list if they do not fit these bills.

Every Single Actor who played James Bond

The Next James Bond must be an actor who can  commit to the role for a dozen years.

Barbara Broccoli said in an inter view from Hollywood Reporter:

“We’re not just casting someone for one film,” said Broccoli. “We’re casting someone, hopefully for a decade, at least. It’s a big decision to make, and we’re nowhere near making that decision.”

 

We had seen multiple articles that listed who could be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig. If the actor is over 40, You can count them out because the producers wanted a younger Bond who could commit to the role.

They may also avoid artistic actor types who don’t want to get typecast because this is a long-time commitment. He will be playing the MI6 operative for the next decade. His Body will undergo grueling training so he can pull off his stunts. Bond is Male, and all those female Bond campaigns should give up. Women deserve an original character instead of a hand-me-down that can divide the fanbase.
The basic qualifier for a man to become James Bond is he must be British. It doesn’t matter his ethnicity is, but he must be British. So Actors from the USA, Australia, Canada, etc., are disqualified.
They wanted an actor who was here for the long run. So actors in their 40s or above are already out of the running.

People can Finally shut up about casting Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston. People suggesting them had been annoying me. No more old Bonds please. Look how gross the later Roger Moore Bond movies. His leading ladies are like his daughters. Time for Younger actors to get the mantle.

Henry Cavill πŸ™ I want him to be Bond so bad but he is now over age. Knowing He auditioned for the role, I am hurt by the injustice.

I agree with not casting artistic types because all they wanted is to win an Award. They also tend to be a mess in real life. They need an actor who is a professional yes man who doesn't mind not having creative control.

I want them to remake some Sean Connery movies. Before you make violent reactions, Casino Royale is a remake.

I heard Idris Elba almost got the role but changes his mind because he do not want to make the same movie for 10 years.

Craig's Bond died in his last movie so that means the next Bond will not have his own stories. Madeline Swan will not carry over as his love interest.

It will be refreshing to see a Bond on his 20s for once. He can be used for more than 10 years.

Can new Bond make roles in another movies outside of Bond franchise in that time? If you are stuck in one role for 10 years, you carrer could suffer or miss chance with something new. Also, what is protocol if something happend to actor or he just refuse be Bond again?

A guy on his late 30s always get cast as Bond because they want a man with believable life experience. He is suppose to the most highly trained agent on the game and it is not believable if he looks like a twink.
