As far as his choices go, I think he's ticking off some boxes at this point in his career, perhaps trying to show his range and find his "best" type of role. I know he says that he follows his gut/heart when selecting roles; well, he's got a brain, I'm sure he follows that too.
He did the comic book blockbuster (Marvel), he did the dark indie thing (OLLA), his did the romantic/artsy movie (DBS / Capa which never happened), he did horror - although romantic and gothic - with CP.
ISTL is his Oscar bait bio film - and >>279 It will be fine, despite whatever is happening in his private life.
TNM is his TV action man/ spy project; I'm sure he's hoping that it will maybe get him on some Bond shortlists. It might.
Kong is his action man/ blockbuster role. >>278 I'll agree that it is looking stinkerish (it's never good when scripts are being re-written and filming schedules pushed back). However, I don't think he'll drop out - unless it conflicts with Marvel next year - as it's a tick in a box.
