    Casting fatigue, and now poll déjà vu.

    I think we need a poll about wanting a young (20s/early 30s) or a more mature Bond (late30s/40s). But not in the sense of what one thinks it’s economically viable or marketable for the series, just what you’d prefer. It would be interesting, then, to give it some visibility, as to, maybe, let Amazon know what the fanbase feels.

    I know, I know, some will say “they owe us nothing”, “fanservicing is always bad”, blah blah, but that’s not the point, it’s just statistical analysis.

    Shall we? Mods? :)
    The issue is that your ‘late 30s/40s’ Bond will not stay that age. If they are any good the studio will want to keep them longer, and we’ll end up with a Bond in his 50s by the fourth or fifth film (possibly earlier, depending on how long it takes to film the new movies). Early-to-mid 30s is the best option, giving us an actor who grows into the role, rather than an actor who grows out of it.

    An argument can be made on these very instantaneous and feeble times, in which people thrive on change and get tired of things that overstay their welcome. Not that I personally advocate for any of this, but I believe that a good actor that spans a decade is better than someone who stays in the role for two decades with years and years between films.

    But like I said, the point of the poll would be to probe our wants, not the reasoning behind the eventual solution by the new studios.

    Well, not exactly, the last poll was about which actor - from a list - would we prefer.

    And in all honesty, the poll actually helped calm some of the nerves and arguments in the forums.

    I just thought it could be informative. But it’s just a suggestion.

    It could be informative, carry on, mate! It's a thoughtful debate and insightful. I'm just feeling the loop, and obviously I don't see age brackets.

    BB said that the actor playing the next Bond would need to make a 'decade-long commitment' to the role. Realistically, that means that age will have to be a casting consideration unless, as sandbagger1 said, the new guy's third film's going to be another one with Bond too old/Bond on the verge of retirement themes. Unless Amazon are going to run much faster production schedules than EON, obvs.
