Shortly after the stream, a synopsis was revealed which confirms that the film begins with Bond living a simple life. Rami Malek was also confirmed as the new villain – in a video message sent from New York, the Oscar-winning actor said: “I promise you all, I will be making sure Mr Bond will not have an easy ride of it.” As for the new cast members, Captain Marvel’s Lashana Lynch is now on board, as are Billy Magnussen, Ana De Armas, David Dencik, and Dali Benssalah. He’s returning alongside the previously-reported Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, Léa Seydoux, and Ben Whishaw. Most notably, Jeffrey Wright will be returning as US agent Felix Leiter, who starred in Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace, but hasn’t been featured in the Craig films since. Wilson and director Cary Fukunaga revealed a slew of new and familiar faces joining Daniel Craig on his next Bond outing. There’s still no title yet, but producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. With Bond 25 finally – finally – about to go into production after a fair amount of behind-the-scenes rejigging, the filmmakers took to the internet for a live-streamed announcement from Ian Fleming’s GoldenEye villa in Jamaica.
