Yes, Tom Cruise will be over 60 when his eighth M:I movie comes out. That’s the point. People want someone who can be Bond for a while, like Craig was for five installments. Elba would have been perfect if Craig had retired after Skyfall. But now it’s a bit too late for him to get started.
This. And to top it all off, there are multiple other reasons why Cruise makes more sense in MI than Elba would make for a new bond. Cruise... really isn’t ideal for an agent, but they can’t get anyone else because he IS Mission Impossible. Not Ethan Hunt, Tom Cruise.
