Not that I really care, but I just finished a rewatch of tenet and thought he might be a good fit. Loved him in the lighthouse and good time. Haven’t seen his Batman movie though.

If they want another five movies out of the next Bond actor, I’m not sure that’s Pattinson. Craig has been vocal about not liking being stuck with the character for five movies. And Pattinson already has experience being saddled with a less-than-stellar character for movie after movie (Twilight).
I would be more interested in 007 movies rather than James Bond. Keep the universe, put different characters in the 007 position so we get fresh stories. 27 Bond films seems like plenty, I’m not sure how much more can be said about Bond. I would be more interested to see Pattinson as 007 and free from the Bond baggage.
Is there Bond baggage? Prior to Daniel Craig I don’t think we knew anything about James Bond and his personal life. For a given Bond actor we might get a little bit of backstory or a maybe film connection, but it was all within the films for that actor.
Sure Desmond Llewelyn played Q for the majority of Bond films, and Judi Dench played M in two Bond series, but they never talked about the “other” Bond.
Also James Bond doesn’t have a canonical backstory like Batman. There is no “his parents died after the theater show” origin.
As long as he’s “British” he can be James Bond.
Be careful what you wish for. That would inevitably end up in some bad multiverse team up.
I’d sign up for 5 movies, shit
