Brilliant actor - to the point you would’nt connect Poe Dameron with Ex Machina’s most disgusting person who ever existed - but can he pull off an English accent? ---

Ah yes, I’d forgotten about that one important character trait. ---

I don’t doubt he can. When that, argumentaly, cosmetic point is all that’s in your way, you’re in a good place. We are in a world with an English Superman, two British versions of Batman, and two english versions of Spider-man. ---

It’s a shame that Poe was never really given his due in the sequels. In Isaac, they had someone with the rugged charm of Han Solo, and as an X-wing fighter, the iconography of the flying ace, which makes anyone automatically cool. ---

> [@News on NO TIME TO DIE (no spoilers)](https://quarterdeck.commanderbond.net/t/news-on-no-time-to-die-no-spoilers/33/635): > > So it’s down to Mackenzie and Demange! Think i’d prefer Mackenzie; Hell or High Water was very good, but it’s Starred Up that really showcases his talents imo. I find it interesting that both of these directors have made movies starring the excellent young actor Jack O’Connell (Starred Up and '71). If it wasn’t for his 5 and half feet height i’d say he was a shoe in for Bond, should he want it. But if Mackenzie or Demange do a second Bond after Craig, i’d imagine they’d insist on at least an … I’m in agreement. They’d need to shoot clever as he’s pretty short, but he’s such a phenomenal actor and presence it’d be worth it. ---

It will be weird since the next guy will be the first Bond who is younger than I. Those two, right now, look as if they could be my nephews. 😉 Somehow I’m still watching Bond as the 9 year old who encountered Bond in TSWLM, with Sir Roger at an age in which he could have been my father. So, for me, the perfect Bond will always be in his 40´s rather than his 30´s. Yes, Connery was in his 30´s - but he, no offense, always looked older. ---

Although I think O’Connell is an amazing actor, he still strikes me as too much of a ‘lad’, lacking the maturity and sophistication of previous Bonds. For the time being I prefer Henry Cavill, Richard Madden and if he ages a bit more Aaron Taylor Johnson. ---

I can see why you think that, but I think O’Connell is very adaptable, but even so with the asting of a new James Bond probably not on the cards for another few years, he has plenty of time to mature and prove himself as an actor before any deals are done by EON and Barbara. I think he also a bit more an edge compared to other actors listed. I also think having a younger Bond offers a new dynamic, I’d like to see a “younger” Bond (mid-30s) interact with an older Felix Leiter for example. Or if they keep Q young, what the dynamic would be with them. I think it offers something new as well as keeping the traditional elements. Although I do agree with you @Irrigator that Aaron Taylor-Johnson also has potential. ---

I’m right there with you - 50 this year! So as long as Craig stays Bond I’m still younger ---

Sadly we’re all going to have to come to terms with the idea of the next Bond being younger than us. I’m only 34, I’m _not_ ready to be older than Bond! ---

Weird, isn’t it? I’m 31, and George Lazenby was 29 when he had the role. ---

Doesn’t feel the same though as it was in the past. I’m sure there’s been a shift in the ages of actors going for those sorts of roles. Especially as actors are still playing teens right into their late 20’s.
