I’m actually really digging Patrick Gibson in the role. He will be the younger Bond in the new First Light: 007 game that is releasing next year. He was great as young Dexter in Dexter: Original Sin, and so far, I’ve loved what I’ve seen and heard about this upcoming game.

Ideally, since they will be rebooting the film-side of things, they’ll need to have a younger actor that can carry the franchise for the next 15-20 years. I’d love to see them just cast Patrick, he’s 30 years old now, and could easily play him for the next 20 years.

The game, or let’s be real… games if this sells well, can focus on 007’s origins, while the movies can have him be slightly aged up and get back to a more traditional film structure.
