Van Helsing, Wolverine... and the new X-men movie is coming already
1. You can't judge another actor not being able to play Bond based on what a completely different actor did decades ago.
2. He will not be starring in X-Men 3 since the film has been put on hold because they have no writers or a director.
3. There will almost certainly be no sequel to Van Helsing. So in result to all of this I think now he would be a good choice to play Bond.
