A threeway Gosling, Bale and Bond romance?
Yeah, Bale is 44 which means in reality he would be 47 before even starting to get going as Bond. Daniel Craig is 50 and about to sign off.
Honestly, I'd like to see Henry Cavill in one more Superman film and after that be offered Bond. I think he'd do a great job.
Failing that, I also like Dan Stevens as he has an intensity which I feel would work well in the role
Everyone in that thread is assuming Bale's going to be Craig's successor, but the obvious hint is Bale's actually the lead baddie.
With Daniel Craig already on board to return as 007, MGM and Eon are looking to hire a director for the next installment of the James Bond franchise. High on their list is Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, though sources tell Variety that no formal offer has yet been made.
Boyle has keen interest in the project and has always wanted to direct a Bond film. He is currently developing a project for Working Title, but with no cast currently attached, there is always the possibility of pushing that movie back to direct the 25th installment in the series.
Boyle has long been in MGM and Eons sights to direct a Bond movie, going back to 2012s Skyfall and 2015s Spectre.
Yeah, I like Dan Stevens and yes, I saw The Guest, but I'm sorry, I just cannot take the guy seriously as an action hero. He does creepy/disturbed well and is perfect for his role on Legion. But Bond? Hell no.He looks more like Rip Hunter.
Must've forgotten about Villeneuve's name being in the mix.Borys Kit

BOND 25: All the names from last year - Denis Villeneuve, David Mackenzie and Yann Demange - are no longer contenders. Danny Boyle was/is hoping to do a period musical drama this summer called ALL YOU NEED for Working Title. Would he drop that if Eon comes-a-calling?
Meh, he's a middle aged man (in a series that actively makes a point to show Bond as worn) and the film's likely not shooting until the end of the year so he's got time to get back into shape. Cruise looked like **** last year and pulled himself together for the newest M:I, so I don't doubt Craig can go the same.
Would definitely be interested in seeing a Danny Boyle Bond film.
So based on his appearance at the BAFTAs, Craig has allegedly pulled a Roger Moore in AVTAK and now looks like an aged, plasticky pale reflection of his former self. Bond 25 might look rough.
