How do you see this happening?
This feels more like Classic Bond since Casino Royale...
Bond No.6 the more obvious names were never really in consideration ie Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor. The next Bond will be an actor not even mentioned yet.
Fassbender would be great though and the prods would be very lucky indeed if he was interested.
While I doubt it'll be Fassbender, I don't think a Bond in his 40s would be that much of an issue. Brosnan, Dalton and Moore were all in their mid 40s iirc.
If they look good then I don't think it'd be an issue. It would just mean that they'd get less films out of them than an actor in their 30s.
after the next film? I thought Craig will be in until Bond 25 at least. Ok. Fass has the "classic" Bond look (tall, dark, chiseled). But i don't think he has the mass appeal to attract a wide audience unlike Craig who had an underrated charisma prior to Bond; the producers need to be assured that they can sell like pancakes. I've seen him in x-men first class and i don't think he is a bad actor, but not as intense or absorbing as Craig; I think McAvoy's acting was outstanding. So, I think they will surprise us again with Craig's successor.
I suspect, however, that dreamcasting Bond may be particularly appealing to people who are dissatisfied with the current guy. Their attention thus tends to focus on an actor who is believed to have the qualities that the current Bond supposedly lacks. In this respect, Fassbender is to Craig as Adrian Paul was to Brosnan.
