At 50 Idris Elba is a little too old for James Bond but if they want to mix it up a bit, Jessica Alba is only 42.

From Screen Rant: " Funnily enough, James Bond was supposed to be 42 in the books."
My FAVORITE James Bond:
"Roger Moore was 45 when he began playing James Bond in 1973’s Live and Let Die, 46 when he starred in the next year’s The Man With the Golden Gun, 49 by the time 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me rolled around, and 51 by the release of 1979’s James Bond movie, Moonraker. Despite his advancing age, the actor would reprise the role three more times at 53 in 1981’s For Your Eyes Only, 55 in 1983’s Octopussy, and finally 57 (the oldest James Bond age so far) in 1985’s A View To A Kill."
Also:
"Finally, the most recent Bond. Craig’s embittered Bond is perpetually nearing retirement in the darker, post-9/11 spy installments, but the actor isn’t actually much older than his predecessors. Craig was only 38 when he took on the role in 2006’s Casino Royale, younger than Brosnan and Dalton's respective first outings as James Bond. He was 40 in its much-hated sequel Quantum of Solace, 44 by the time 2012’s Skyfall was released, 47 in Spectre, and 50/51 while making No Time To Die, though 53 years old when the film finally released in theaters, making him the second-oldest age of James Bond."

Nah, not going to complain about more Bond flicks. The franchise is vastly different than other franchises, and is very much the legacy project. I'm just wondering if there are any other posters who wouldn't be sad if they ended. When we get the new Bond and the new movie is due out, I'll check it out to see if it's something for me to see.Sheesh, just don't watch it. My god do you have to complain about everything??

"Henry Cavill is another frontrunner for the role, and interestingly, Cavill auditioned to play Bond in Casino Royale. Cavill is currently 40 years old, which is a little on the older side, but he's still younger than when Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan first played 007. Tom Hardy, who is 45, is another contender for the role, and while that would mean he'd be playing Bond until he's 57 if producers get their way, the actor is in the greatest shape of his career and at the top of his game. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the most popular candidate with the bookies to play James Bond, is 33 years old, and in terms of age, he's perfect for producers' plans."

Cavill would be nails as Bond. Check him out in the awesome Man from U.N.C.L.E. for a comp. And, hey, he's not working right now...
I'd like Cavill as Bond. I hadn't considered him for age like hadn't Idris. Same with Hardy. I didn't realize that Moore and Brosnan were older than him when they started. I think he's a long shot but I'd like it.
Cavill is absolutely perfect for the role.

I'm better than Mulli!
I do
As I was reading this, I thought it would be cool to start the movie with Idris as an aging Bond, but something happens and he ends up going bad, so the new, younger Bond who eventually takes his place steps in to stop him and this becomes his origin story. Bond Vs. Bond: Bonded by Bondsmen Bondage!
This could be interesting. I wouldn't call him Bond though but he could be 007 to start. 007 vs Bond: Bond Harder.
yeah but... nobody admits to Bondo

If the last two films were any indication of the next phase of Bond movies then no.
