    Dickinson is the actor to beat. His age, his level of fame, his prestige—everything fits together. The only thing against him is that he might become more famous in a year.

    Villeneuve didn't shy away from casting Timothy Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt, Hugh Jackman, Jason Mamoa, Dave Batista, Amy Adams or Ryan Gosling because they were "too famous".

    Chalamet was famous before Dune?

    As famous as Dickinson is now? yes absolutely!

    I don’t think Villeneuve’s past casting record will matter with Bond specifically. He’s ultimately been hired as one of the many lead creatives, but he’s more the tenant than the landlord in this instance. It might impact the casting around Bond, and we might see someone connected to him making an appearance, but Bond himself is another matter.

    That said, I can easily imagine Amazon wanting an ‘unknown’ being very much an early days plan. Something conceptual almost. A bit like in ‘62 where some model was chosen from a Bond casting competition EON ran, and they realised the guy couldn’t act. They might strike gold and have a situation like when Chris Hemsworth (who then was relatively unknown from what I understand) was cast as Thor, or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but it requires the right actor. In practice if a more established actor came along and stood out (in the mould of Craig’s pre Bond career anyway) I don’t think they’d say no.

    I think Dickinson is the best of the "young actors" for the role. Is there any of his films that he's Bondian in, anyone would recommend?

    Dickinson is the heir apparent at this stage, in that he's a Potential A list star who hasn't quite become a household name just yet, similar to Timothee Chalamet before Dune.

    I know some challenge the term “ “Alpha “, but Harris isn’t one, and the next Bond needs to be one.

    My gut instinct (whatever that’s worth) says it won’t be him, although he’s a good actor and I’m sure he could hypothetically do something cool with the role.
