Its funny ppl think Amazon's gonna race or gender swap him when Bezos donated millions to Trump

He'll be a white guy dont you worry. They'll probably make him blonde.

Im not opposed to ATJ, but id actually he interested to see them get an unknown in the role

Secondly, an unknown or low profile actor.

If only 'big names' then I vote for ROBERT PATRICK (THE BATMAN).
Most of the Bond actors had some sort of bond-like role before hand. So actors like Tom Hiddleston (Night Manager), Richard Madden (Citadel, Bodyguard), Theo James (The Gentlemen, though I wish he had more direct action in that series), are soft auditions for Bond. I'd rather a less 'pretty boy' actor, particularly if they are mid-30s or less, but once they hit their 40's they are perfect. A younger actor needs a bit more grit in their face and most of these brits have too much skin care and no life stresses to be convincing.

The only problem with CAvill is that he has like an 80% "project announced never completed" rate. He just got his Marvel Nova show cancelled I think. Will Voltron ever see the light of day? The Highlander film? Warhammer? He is the Del Toro of actors, always an announcement that drives interest and press, but the backend machine can't follow through. Maybe he kills stuff that he sees going south or just puts his name to everything for a little paycheck, but his output is always..."when the hell did he film that?!?" kinda stuff, even if its still good.

Robert Patrick in Tenet I guess covers that? I think he’s great.
