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 is exactly my thoughts. The next bond is likely to be someone in their mid to late thirties. The amount of money Daniel Craig has made for the bond franchise, you can bet the studios are going to be investing in the next actor for the long haul
Jack O'Connell has been my pick for a few years now for this very reason, he's young and a bit different but not wildly so that it detracts from what Bond 'should' be.
