The Shoutbox
Because when they ask “do you expect me to sign” the studio says “no, we expect you to die!” Hard to get a guy to willingly sign up for that sort thing.
All that said, yeah, a younger Bond seems like the only way for them to go. Other than a much older Bond, I guess, or some other dramatic reinvention.
It's possible there's not a lot of interest for someone successful and young to tie themselves down. I know Craig talked about that a lot, and it came up in the early days of the MCU, where people kind of bounced off projects because they had to essentially agree to do them for a solid decade.

Presumably the actors most likely to say yes to that are relative unknowns, then, which carries its own risk.
The taste of a McRib brings back childhood memories for me, and this year for the first time in a long time, I might be able to get one for Christmas Day!
Why don't they look for a younger man to play James Bond? One that can be him for decades.

Taron Egerton can do it. He's British. He is the type that looks better as he gets older. He's played Robin Hood and he's that spy type in Kingsmens.
I've somehow never tried a McRib. For whatever reason I want to, though.
then I went to McDonald’s to see about getting a celebratory McRib. only to find they sold out. and they said come back next year. worst Christmas ever!

battery was dead. swapped it and then it didn’t crank. so naturally i hit it a few times, cursed, and then tried again. started right up.

the positive lead is all janky

I do like Henson's Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas as I had the kid's book when I was very young.
