People say he's too old, but he's only 41 - just three years older than Craig was when Casino Royale came out. Of course Any new Bond film (or show) is at least two years away, so he'd be 43-44. But Brosnan was 42 in Goldeneye, Moore was 45 in Live and Let Die - and neither seemed too old, at least for the first few films.The only time that I think the Bond actor seemed too old were the last couple movies of Roger Moore when he was in his mid-to-late 50s, or Sean Connery in that last odd duck he made in the 80s, when he was in his 50s. Plus, Cavill seems like a health nut and is aging well, so probably has a solid decade plus in which he'd be fine for the role. If they started making a film in 2026 and did one every three years, he could be 43, 46, 49, and 52 - four films is about right for any one actor. And of course they might go the series route instead, which gives us a lot more screen time to enjoy.That said, I'm not attached to Cavill - I just think he has the right combination of factors to make a good Bond. And I'd rather have 10 years of Cavill than, say, 15 years of a lesser actor.</blockquote>
