And it's regardless of the pace things are going: some actors might get snatched for other projects, for instance.
Lol, those are actually pretty entertaining spots.
I think so too. A role in a superhero movie or series is no longer guarantee of fame and if not job security.
Indeed! Henry Cavill made an Instagram video saying he was back as Superman. Turned out it was a one minute cameo in Black Adam and not a new Superman film! Cavill had to release a statement confirming his unexpected departure. Role was recast.
Same scenario with Pierce Brosnan. He thought he would be back for a fifth Bond film but, as we all know, it never happened. Both Cavill and Brosnan were not under contract so the producers were entitled to recast. No loyalty necessary! One day you're the big star, the next day you're not wanted.

Edit:
Here's a weird video someone made of his scenes from Bly Manor:
Agreed. I really like McCreadie's look for Bond.
Me too. Very nice suggestion.
Yeah, sure.
Interesting. How old is he?
Based on some internet research I believe he's 37.
Right age if he was to be cast soon, as in now.
Oh yeah, I do recognise this actor. He’s got a very ‘classic’ Bond type look (perhaps a bit too much - I’m not sure if I’d look at him twice just based on a photo) but I think his ruggedness and charisma put him at an advantage. Pretty solid actor. Yeah, I can see it.
Honestly, his Bond look is very, very, very sharp. Very obvious!
He is.
Speaking for myself, I absolutely want a strong actor cast , but I’m ready for one who has a classic, traditional Bond look.
He hasn't been in anything since 2020. That could be a concern.
In film/TV anyway. I think he might be more a theatre guy. He actually doesn’t have all that many IMDB credits as an actor.

ATJ is also mentioned in the article. It's kinda strange but interesting to hear two of my top contenders being asked about it to be honest.
"Will Callum Turner fill Daniel Craig’s stylish shoes as the next James Bond? His mom sure hopes so, he says.
Talking with PEOPLE about the online rumors and oddsmakers who say he’s under consideration to play the secret agent on screen, Turner, 33, quips, “I think that's my mum. She just puts that out there. So when my odds get higher, it's all her putting the money on.”
Though Callum, who stars in the new historical sports drama The Boys in the Boat and the upcoming World War II series Masters of the Air, claims he’s had no meetings about playing the suave spy, he notes he’s a fan of “amazing producer” Barbara Broccoli.
“She makes incredible films,” he says. “I'd love to work with her in any capacity.
Other actors whose names have been floated include Euphoria and Saltburn star Jacob Elordi and Bullet Train actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Taylor-Johnson demurred when asked by Esquire earlier this year about the Bond rumors. “As I’ve already told you, I have to go by the beat of my own drum," he said. "It’s my own path, what feels intuitive to me. I’ve never made a decision based on other people’s perspectives, or their judgments, or their expectations.”
They must have people everywhere.
( edit) I have to say that I have been very resistant to C. Turner as a candidate, while I’m not a complete convert, I do find him impressive in interviews and he has one of the best voices in a field of weak voiced actors
Absolutely. ATJ being the frontrunner is a concern
It's also funny that he's in that interview with Joel because I also think Joel would make a good Felix Leiter.
