Zack Snyder, the director of DC Studios` `Justice League` and Netflix`s new `Rebel Moon -- Part One: A Child of Fire`, has expressed interest in giving the British superspy a time-travelling makeover as the 60-year-old serial reinvents itself, reported the New York Post. "It`d be cool to see, like, 20-year-old James Bond," Snyder told the Atlantic. "The humble roots that he comes from. Whatever trauma of youth that makes you be able to be James Bond. There has to be something there." Snyder is not slated to direct the next Bond film.
According to the New York Post, a full-blown 007 origin story has never taken place in Eon Productions` 25-movie franchise. The closest they`ve come to explaining Ian Fleming`s mysterious Bond is the agent earning his "00" status at the start of 2006`s "Casino Royale" starring Daniel Craig. Even then, the actor was 38. The ages of actors playing James Bond have varied widely over the years. Sean Connery filmed the first movie, "Dr. No," at 31, and Roger Moore wrapped up his tenure with "A View to a Kill" at 57.
