Returning as the iconic British spy for his fourth Bond movie is actor Daniel Craig. In addition, Ralph Fiennes will be reprising his role as M, Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner and Ben Whishaw as Q.
Sam Mendes, who worked on the last Bond feature, Skyfall, will return to direct the untitled Bond 24 film. John Logan first helmed the script, with revisions made from Neal Purvis and Robert Wade; the three previously collaborated together on Skyfall.
Skyfall is reigning as the top grosser in the franchise with $1.1 billion worldwide. The film is the most nominated of any in the Bond series, winning Oscars for Adele’s original song “Skyfall” and sound editing (Per Hallberg and Karen Baker Landers).
Waltz won supporting actor Oscars for Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds. He can next be seen in Horrible Bosses 2 and Tim Burton’s Big Eyes.
The new Bond film is set to release in theaters on November 6, 2015. Check out the official trailer for 2012’s Skyfall below!
