Evans is a missed opportunity. He looks tough, but can be charming at the same time. And he's Welsh, which is a bonus.
I find it quite telling that even today there are lots of articles speculating on a new Bond (one year before a new film comes out with a returning actor). It says a lot.
Would they really want to unveil the new actor for the 60th anniversary? That would have to put added pressure on top of introducing the new Bond.
Yes, I think it will actually help to build hype.

I'd love to see a 60th anniversary film with a new Bond. What I'd like even more, is a film in 2021 instead. Then 2023, 2025, etc
Good point actually, maybe they aren't worried about that pressure.
If they release one for the 60th, they may do the same thing (i.e. focus on the new actor and even a big name director rather than the pure anniversary element). That could take some of the pressure off.
2022 just seems right to me. Plus, they know from the outset this time that Craig isn't coming back, so they have to get their heads in gear.
And they just had a four year gap already.

From what I can tell, there was a 25th anniversary documentary look back at the series past, and ahead to the forthcoming TLD, hosted by Roger Moore.
Interesting that Barry called it quits after that film too, and then LTK was the start of something entirely new (approach etc.).
Something similar happened after the 40th. Pity it it didn't happen after the 50th too.
And he's not to big of a name, like many others. Come to think of it, there are several names mentioned that would be in the right age group to take on the role now, hadn't Craig signed on for a last one. Recasting the role in a few years will be a difficult job!
Barry had to pass on LTK, because he was sick.
Something similarly coincidental happened with Desmond in TWINE.
I don't think it will be difficult, but certainly overdue.
He was great in it, but... I can't say I see him as Bond.
He looks good in a dinner jacket and has the build, but as I expected (based on seeing him last year in Flatliners) he doesn't have the screen charisma required to hold the screen in my view. Distinctly pedestrian.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised that his name has even come up in the media.
+1 Not a drop of charisma.
As far as his name coming up, he was spotted in a tuxedo; that seems to be a sole qualifier for anyone.
That's pretty much the argument for 99% of the actors mentioned for potential Bond.
We can only hope they have a list with a few names in the right age group. They really should be thinking about the next actor eventually.
Only shows how different we view the potential candidates on this thread. Only Fassbender seems to be the one that most of us would like to see as Bond!
This was what I was thinking, too. And the gap between each movie should give time to take note of a few names, if anything!
Agreed Bonsum, on all counts.
