Insiders say that the studio and producers are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30, with Jacob Elordi ("Saltburn"), Tom Holland("Spider-Man") and Harris Dickinson("Babygirl") at the top of the list. (Elordi is Australian, but that would not be a deal-breaker as far as Amazon is concerned; remember Aussie George Lazenby starred in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service.") While there has been speculation that Aaron Taylor-Johnson or Henry Cavill would be possible heirs to Craig, they are 35 and 42, respectively, and thus unlikely to fit the mandate. So, too, is fan-favorite Idris Elba, 52, who has ducked Bond speculation for years. (No meetings have happened at this stage

Agreed on the older Bond; under 30 makes me think they're going for another Bond origins thing, bleh.

I've been pro-Matthew Goode in the role for ages. Apparently he wanted to do a grittier Bond, though, which... idk, I'd rather they go back to a slightly lighter/sillier tone.
