Seriously though. These ages don't feel old for how people seem to age these days. Some of those OGs look even older than these guys even thought they were younger

No explanation would be needed and they could just reboot quickly
and hit the ground running with Cavill as a veteran 007 at his peak with a new M,Q and Moneypenny.
The fans would love it.
However….
All of this is sadly just talk.
Because the Bond producers have clearly completely lost interest in the franchise and are doing absolutely nothing.
When they killed off Craig’s 007 in the last one we all thought they would reboot right away and we would start fresh all over again with a new 007
- but nope.
We now know they killed him off so they could take a long break and step away from the entire franchise for a while.
So, I think the next film is at least 3 years away and all of this talk is from fans who are anxious and excited to see James Bond on screen again.
I just wish that excitement was shared by the Bond producers!
As for acting, Bond could once appear like a role that doesn't require great acting chops, but that is false. Bond movies got more complex and deeper with time, through the years, and now good acting skills are really needed for this role, plus charisma, and sorry but I don't see it in Cavill. He is an average actor in my view, he doesn't provoke any great, unforgettable emotions, and he was also boring Superman for me - Reeve will always be the best one.
For me, alongside having a great physique and charisma, the Bond actor should also be an interesting choice, you know what I mean? Someone with emotional depth, interesting career choices, and acting talent. And that is Aaron Tylor-Johnson, period! If you look up the roles he played through the years, his acting range is really smth else, I'd argue that he has the greatest acting range among actors in his generation. He proved it by playing brilliantly all these different roles: the lovable nerd in Kick-ass, young John Lennon, Vronsky in Anna Karenina - he was the best part of the movie, charming Pietro in Avengers, terrifying psycho&rapist in Nocturnal Animals, great character and comedian in Bullet Train, he also absolutely stole the Fall Guy movie, he played a hilarious satiric role in that. He is one of my faves now. Aaron also has a crazy great body and athletic skills, for me better than Cavill's body, and even David Leitch spoke about, and he knows, as he started as a stuntman himself. So Aaron has it all for genius Bond!
I agree that the only thing not great for Aaron as Bond, is his voice, as he has a rather thin and child-like voice. Bond's voice should be deep, manly, and dominating, but changing your voice is part of acting, and all brilliant actors can change it, not to mention that we now have sound effects to make it better, so that wouldn't be a problem at all. For me, personally, Aaron is way, way better Bond choice than Cavill: Caviil is already too old, and Aaron is a perfect age for Bond now, Aaron has an incredible body and action skills, and he already played in awesome action movies like Kick-Ass, Bullet Train, Avengers, and Kraven, so he has a perfect background for Bond movies, he has amazing acting chops overall, he is handsome, and while he is known, he is not like crazy famous, as Cavill is, as Aaron was always more low-profile, so he literally checks almost all the boxes (minus the voice, but that, as I already pointed out, can be easily fixed). Cavill compared to Aaron is a worse choice, sorry.
and they spin Cap Britain as Marvel's version of Bond
For me they have 3 ideal options
Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Has the acting chops, the looks and the charisma to play Bond
Richard Madden- The Scottish connection to the character and like ATJ has the acting, looks and charisma to be Bond.
Henry Golding - A British actor of Asian descent would be an ideal choice for James Bond. He has charisma in abundance, has done action movies and is a good actor.
If I had to guess who it is going to be, it is probably Aaron Taylor-Johnson, he has had his own franchise in Kick ass. He has done the MCU movies so he has a built in audience, he is young, talented and could bring a similar physicality to the role that Daniel Craig did while also mixing in some comedic chops for the Bond one liners. I'd have Henry Golding a close second and Madden third.
