Since the development of the next Craig Bond movie re-ignited, there hasn’t been much solid news. Rachel Weisz, now Mrs. James Bond in real life, was rumoured as the big villain, possibly heading up dangerous organisation Quantum, but it’s looking more like the generally villainous Ralph Fiennes will be taking on at least one enemy role, with Javier Bardem joining him opposite Bond. Daily Mail, who are usually right with Bond scoops, say that both roles are confirmed which is certainly exciting and already suggests a bigger and more dramatic movie than Quantum of Solace.
They also clarify the recent Naomie Harris rumours – apparently she’s Miss Moneypenny, Bond’s friend/admin boss in MI5. She was in some of the older movies but if they’re bringing her back you can assume it’s for a bigger more substantial role. But does that mean there is still a space for a Bond girl? I’d say so. Who do you want to see in that role? Bond 23 opens next November.
