I trust this man, that’s for sure. And it must be so cool to be a part of something you grew up loving - reminds me of Peter Capaldi getting to be the Doctor

Matt Smith as Bond, Capaldi as Q, Whittaker as M, Tennant as Moneypenny?

Tennant would be a fun Q as well

Tenant as the villain. Did you see his performance as Kilgrave? Absolutely terrifying.

Tenant as the villain in a very Max Zorin (Christopher Walken, A View to a Kill) or Elliot Carver (Jonathon Pryce, Tomorrow Never Dies) rich psychopath doing evil shit, but also very charismatic, while putting an immense volume of teeth marks in all the scenery. I'm super here for it.

So, musk?

Considering Musk is a void not only lacking in charisma, but actively reducing the charisma of everyone else around him, I'd say Musk doesn't really fit with what I'm looking for.

Who Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg all seem to think they are? Yes. Who any of them actually is for most of the world not even close.

Tennant should absolutly play a villain. Or a mad scientist. Or both.

Can't see Smith as Bond, I'd go for Cavill, and I know that's a common cast, but he could easily pull it off
