1. I see nothing to worry about. His talent will ensure he has an amazing and long-lived career (assuming mental health or other personal issues don't interfere). What he ISN'T is a Hollywood leading man, period. Should that opinion come back to haunt me, I won't be sorry.
2. I agree, I doubt the average US citizen cares too much about either BC or Assange, and the allegations against the latter have dismayed people who might otherwise have been pro-. I'm vaguely surprised that it's opening so late here, because Assange is Australian and as such has periodically been all over the news. Or perhaps that was deliberate, because the reviews will be damning (and people will probably say the role should have gone to an Australian). Reserving judgement on that question for now.
3. Back to point 1. He will always be offered great roles in Britain - theatre/movies/TV - should he want them, and character roles elsewhere.
