I loved him in Fury but anytime he's tried to just the serious dramatic roles I've just been kinda...meh. Can he be a heavy character?
I guess it depends on what this movie is going to be. If it's something of a tense sci-fi movie, he can probably do that. If it's gonna be an introspective case study on the human condition using space as a plot device....eh.
He can play Tom Bishop: Astronaut and reprise his approach in Spy Game (friggen love that movie) but I think 7 Years in Tibet may be something similar to what they're going for here and if so...well that movie kinda sucked, IMO. Shoulda had Leo do it...

Pitt is a superstar that is at his best in a supporting role.... Fight Club, 12 Monkeys, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood....
