Considering who is actually available and that you would want someone young enough that they might be able to do a series without aging out of the role, my suggestion would be someone like KJ Apa

If you only know him from Riverdale, wait until you see him in One Fast Move:

This would have been the correct answer 25 years ago in 1998 and in an ideal world it's what we would have gotten in previous decades. Unfortunately time doesn't stop moving forwards. Any pictures you see of him that 47 was based on are from decades ago.

He's still the right choice for an animated film, but he's 63 now and doesn't still look the part anymore if we're talking about live action.

He deserves his own series with a completely new character, not taking over an existing one.

I also choose David Bateson. But, in all the scenes, so if they do a piece about 47's youth again, others should act like they can't see he is a grown man, but act like he is a child.
Also, unlike the other movies, I want it to be more spy-like and silent assassin, like see the actual plotting of things and preparation and scouting and so on.

having the middle ground in terms of age would be best(20 - 30 or 40) theres not much difference bewteen that age area but its defiently visible beyond and below the ranges

I always pictured a Hitman film with Idris Elba in the lead role, but as a guy that's hunting down 47, not necessarily 47. I feel like 47 is a terrible choice for the main character of a movie, but as an antagonist he'd be terrifying.
