With its spring shoot fast approaching, Eon and MGM have begun bringing back familiar faces for the next James Bond film as Lea Seydoux is set to reprise her “Spectre” role as psychologist Madeleine Swann, a source confirmed to Variety.
Daniel Craig is already on board to return, with Cary Joji Fukunaga writing and directing the pic.
Craig is currently shooting Rian Johnson’s thriller “Knives Out” and Fukunaga is still finishing the Bond 25 script, but insiders say producers have already begun building out the film’s ensemble. Besides Seydoux, Eon is looking for two other actresses — one would play an MI6 agent who works with Bond and another a mystery woman — as well as the Bond villain.
According to insiders, Rami Malek was being eyed for the villain role, but his schedule on the last season of “Mr. Robot,” which shoots from March through July, makes it unlikely that he will be able to take the gig, even if Eon offered him the part.

Maud Adams was in MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and OCTOPUSSY...
Seydoux is French...Speaking of French actresses in Bond films...
I liked Carole Bouquet in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY(1981)...She is now 61 years old...Remember her long hair?
There is Claudine Auger who was in THUNDERBALL(1965)...She is now 77 years old...
There is Eva Green who was in CASINO ROYALE (2006)...She is now 38 years old...She was great in CASINO ROYALE...She was good in other movies also...
Two other actresses? I am sure some unknown actresses will be cast...Bond producers often do that...
I suspect the angle to this film....because Daniel Craig says it’s the last one for him....is to have Craig’s Bond die in the end, and one of these female characters talked about...will become 007. They seem to want a change for the role.
I think it’s more likely that the producers have bought into this re-boot fever where Bond has to be like Batman or Lord of the rings and have a multi movie arc. And then start over.
What say y’all?
Is this the last hetero/straight male version of the 007 series?
Based on the last ending, I suspect she’s going to end up like the Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo (Diane Riggs) who Bond married but is killed. Good. She certainly is no Diane Riggs.
She needs to get that space between her front teeth fixed!
Might be why she hardly ever smiles. Actually though, she has a stupid smile. Sticking to the pouty, sultry expression works GREAT for her. And those.....
No one is.
Famke Janssen in Golden Eye as Xenia Onatopp...

No way...I just don’t find that acceptable...I grew up watching James Bond films on ABC back in 1980s...Then I continued to watch them on cable...I am used to James Bond accomplishing missions and moving on with beautiful women...
