If they want to go young in a half decade or so, Alex Pettyfer (currently 21) could be a decent choice. Even a straight male can admit he looks quite nice. Nicholas Hoult (22), who was the young Beast in X-Men: First Class, could be a decent choice too. I would suggest Henry Caville (28), but I dunno if someone can go from Superman to Bond. I mentioned a former Potter actor and the one I think could maybe be a Bond someday is Tom Felton (24), though I want to see him do something other than slimy and low after his work in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
And, if they really want to make a splash, there's someone who is a big star who is British who is currently 25 and who has shown he can carry a franchise...
