I found it implausible that Roper would have elevated Pine as quickly as he did. The story went to great lengths to show how careful Roper had been, yet here is Pine who peformd a seemingly heroic act, is quickly embraced, given a brief vetting, then put on the fast track. Doesnt ring true.
However, it is plausible that Roper was willing to demote Corky. Corky drank too much, and had a weakness for boys; both character traits that could cause difficulty for Roper if the wrong person were to have cornered Corky.
Does Huddleston have the charisma to play Bond? It seemed like an inside joke when so many characters commented on his looks and attraction. My take is that he would bring a more cereberal quality to the character, like a combination of Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig. He isnt the smarmy cheeky Pierce Brosnan, or the quippy Roger Moore.
