Lot of talk about Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Dwayne Johnson and Tom Hardy. All terrible choices if you ask me.

Cillian Murphy could potentially be a good choice, but he's too old if the franchise wants someone to sign on for 4-5 films.

Oliver Javkson Cohen or Tom Hiddleston would e decent although a bit old for a reboot role.

Jack Bannon is a decent actor (imitation game, fury)

Some folks are calling for Richard Madden (Rob Stark GOT) shit actor imo

All I figure is the actor should be young, british and not cater to cancel culture.

Iirc they are actually doing a recruitment drive for mi5. Or whatever the fuck it's called. I looked years ago but it was boring computer jobs, I wanted to go shoot motherfuckers in fancy hotels wearing a tuxedo. Ain't nobody got time for Microsoft office, fuck that.

I agree that whoever they choose has to be young enough to do a full run of films like Daniel Craig did. Craig was looking really old in the last one. He was 38 when he did his first one back in 2006. Ideally they would be mid 30s or younger.

Also, apparently they don't want an actor who has already got huge name recognition from leading roles in major Hollywood blockbusters.

That rules out Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Dwayne Johnson, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Tom Hiddleston.

I don't really know who I'd want to play Bond, I didn't really know anything about Daniel Craig prior to him starring in Casino Royale and he absolutely nailed it.
