Bond 24 cast news and updates: Dave Bautista to play a villain in the next 007 installment
A new report indicates that Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista, is set to play a Bond 24 villain. Bautista played Drax in the commercial and critical hit Guardians of the Galaxy. He is said to play Hinx, a henchman. He will be in league with former Bond villains, Oddjob and Jaws.
WWE.com announced: "Unconfirmed reports indicate that The Animal is in negotiations to star as the villain Hinx opposite Daniel Craig's 007 in the next installment of the legendary franchise. According to casting reports, the producers were looking for a physically imposing male with a unique look and a sports background - a description that fits Batista perfectly."
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol star and French actress Lea Seydoux, is being considered as a Bond girl as well. If you remember Seydoux, she was the one who killed IMF agent Trevor Hanaway and was killed off by Paula Patton's character.
Daniel Craig will still reprise his iconic James Bond role. This will be Craig's fourth Bond film. Rory Kinnear, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, and Ralph Fiennes are all set to return as well.
With the working title Bond 24, the movie has yet to have a plot, though Ralph Fiennes said he will be in action all throughout the movie. He won't be sitting behind a desk to send James Bond on missions, he explained.
Skyfall director Sam Mendes, will return to helm the sequel.
Bond 24 release date is set on November 6, 2015.
