I don't really know the sorts of things he did in the films, but some older people can be very physically fit, like that guy who swam the english channel in his 70's (I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head but I'm sure there are loads ). But anyway he's not necessarily going to be doing the same things he used to do. We don't know how his character will be written yet, it might be that they have someone younger for the more action orientated scenes if it's not realistic for him to do them, and his role could be more of a mentor type thing. I don't know. I just think personally that it shouldn't be written off because of his age is all.
