Although we don't yet know what decade LWW will now be set in the amended timeline, I'm going to go for a reasonably wide range of possibilities from 40 years old (1985) up to 70 years old (2015)

Well, I'm curious who you might come up with in their late 20s to early 30s. Because I'm suspicious Gerwig will have the timeline pretty compact. Otherwise we're going to see a 90s LWW. 

@fantasia - one of the actors who was on my radar at the younger end of the spectrum was Anthony Boyle (31), who's been in a whole bunch of stuff recently, such as Masters of the Air, and House of Guinness. He also played John Wilkes Booth in Manhunt.

Like David McKenna, he's also from Belfast, and he has that thick wavy Irish hair that kind of matches Digory's on-set look (though I will admit that McKenna seems to have much straighter almost ginger-ish hair in his profile headshots).

And although Boyle is fairly conventional in terms of weight and build, he doesn't instantly strike me as being too tall, angular, or slender to pass for an older Digory... though he's maybe just on the edge of believability for an immediate visual-connection in that regard.

I'm also not entirely sure of the eyes matching as well as other candidates perhaps do, but so far I've not found anyone better in the younger age bracket.
