I'd take Taron Egerton as Bond. He has proven he could play a spy type character with the Kingsman franchise. And he'd be the first Welsh born actor to play a Bond since Timothy Dalton.
Would they? They're differently written. Eggsy was braggadocious and edgy and cursing. Bond is calm, soft spoken. Basically what Collin Firth played in Kingsmen.
Pretty much the only good choice from who’s available. Unless they decide to go with an unknown name. He could play the role longer than most others to take the title as well.
All joking aside, Roger Moore was 57 in his last Bond movie. Taron is 36. I'd Sayed he can play Bond for 3-4 movies and still not be 51 like Craig was . Craig stared in the role at 37-38 and did it till he was 51-53.
30 isn't a rule. Brosnan was 42 when he started and 49 when he left. Moore was 45 in his first movie and 57 when he left . Connery looked 50 at 32 lol . Lazenby was 29, and Timothy Dalton was 41. Daniel Craig was 38.
They all basically were , with exception of Lazenby, in the role at least 45 or more on average.
I don't know where the 30 rule is form you mentioned, but it's definitely an exception to the rule considering they're all basically 40+ in most of their movies.
