I like Fassbender.
I think Elba is too old now, but I would be shocked if the next Bond was not black or Arab.

Idris Elba - Love Elba in Luther, but he's too old.
He’s also fricking BLACK

I'd personally like to see Idris, but another brother is Rege-Jean Page from Bridgerton. Also Henry Cavill or Sam Heughan of Outlander fame could work too.

What about Taron Egerton the guy from the 1st Kingsman? I think he’d be solid

The Bond character has run its course. Let him RIP.
If they’re just going to morph him into something more relevant and appealing to the current audience, then just create a new character.

Either Tom Cruise or John Krasinski. This way they can completely finish wrecking the entire James Bond experience we grew up with.

+1 on Richard Madden. He was really good in "Bodyguard."

Michael Fassbender - good choice
While not as old as Elba, still too old. You don't want to reboot/recast with a guy who will be 45 before he finishes his first film. Now, it is very unlikely that any single actor will do 7 films as Bond (which both Connery and Moore did) as even if they get the part relatively young, likely to burn out first. Also, very unlikely for an actor to star in a Bond film well into his 50s (which only Moore did) as barely 50s is about all Brosnan and Craig could manage. If they lucked into someone like Cruise or Pitt, they could push that some, but I doubt that will line up.
So - where are we at now?
Hardy and Fassbender would probably be the hottest, top tier names other than the "clearly too old now" Idris Elba. I don't think Hardy is right for Bond, but he is a good actor and could likely mold himself into it for 1 or 2 pictures, at most. I'm sure nobody wants that. I know he would be flattered and 5 or 6 years ago? Maybe.
Fassbender is an interesting choice. Probably the best all around pick if they were shooting the film right now. But, while not as old as Elba, would have a maximum of 3 movies before he is in his 50s. This is true of the perhaps even better than Fassbender choice, Chiwetel Ejiofor, as they are the same age.
So, guys a little younger than Fassbender and Ejiofor who are intriguing candidates for different reasons -
If we aren't hung on "British" Ryan Gosling is a malleable actor who could likely balance light and dark. Ditto for Oscar Isaac who might even be better in that regard.
My top 2 picks would be: Jack O'Connor and Jamie Bell
Versatility wise, Bell is off the charts good. He might not have quite the leading man looks, but is more of a younger Craig in that respect. Put him in the tux, he will get the girls' attention.
Jack O'Connor, on the other hand, seems built to play Bond. He's 32. They could theoretically get 8 pictures out of him before he turns 50 (and certainly 6 or 7), assuming he doesn't burn out.

Y’all are dreaming. We are going to get something closer to Jaden Smith than anything previously mentioned, and that’s IF it’s a male.
