From what I can tell, he’s in a fair chunk. The main body of Skyfall (not including the PTS) can be roughly divided into 4 sections - London, Asia, London again and Scotland - each approximately half an hour long. Q appears in a scene towards the end of the first London section and more or less throughout the second London section.

Hmm, I suppose that would be good - if he's based in London, let's get his character established in the timeline and current relationship with Craig's Bond.

I just had images of him as almost a 'sidekick' for a portion of the film with his gadgety/armoury helping Bond out in a few situations, almost like leading Bond girl for recent years, Dame Judi Dench... but this sounds good for now.

[Shrublands]

Most of the time he’s at the new Q-branch in the MI6 underground HQ. In the first London section, he meets Bond at the National Gallery. But he’s never out in the field as a sort of sidekick.

I think at most Q will be communicating with Bond over the phone like M was in CR and QOS and we'll get back to Bond getting his mission from M and Q branch helping out along the way.

I'm just wondering if there will be a Layer Cake reference.

Yeah, Q is going to shoot Bond as he walks down the steps of Stoke Park. Or we'll hear Craig shout "I f****** hate guns!" at Q when they meet at the gallery.

Indeed. Probably not over the phone though, but via that earpiece we've seen Bond wearing during filming.

My bad, phone/ear piece/blue tooth/etc. Which ever device Bond is using I fell Q will be on the other end for now on and if needed M.

‎best have this here too, there will probably be a bit of spoiler chat about this one...

007 gets his quartermaster! Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the 23rd James Bond adventure, SKYFALL, announced today that the character of Q will be making a welcome return to the Bond franchise and confirmed that the role will be played by British actor Ben Whishaw.

Any one else think he is HARRY POTTER meets THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (Lisbeth Salander) LoL

Nice detail in the trailer of Q's Scrabble mug on his desk.

Yeah, I remember someone saying there seemed to be a Q mug on his desk when the first pic was released. Good to have that confirmed.

I can see him becoming a real fan favourite even from the little glimpse in the trailer.

How many films until they 'do a Pegg' and have him out in the field with Bond?

Re-wachting "The Hour" now, with him calling the main female protagonist "Moneypenny", makes me laugh. Guy was a fan way before.

Yeah, I think so as well. He seems easily likeable.

The trailer showing Q handing over the signature PPK/S shows that he is a real Quartermaster and not just a computer technical wizard. Whether there will be any other gadgets remains to be seen.

Yes, and a real sadistic geek: “Less of a random killing machine, more of a personal statement” Also: "Sometimes a trigger must be pulled"

The guy is gagging for some killing ain´t he? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Q would only make sense if he was a professional who would devise different ways of killing people. Who said that? Was it Craig in an interview? Someone did.

Anyways, I like this new angle on Q. Must get me one of those mugs.

Cool so I suppose the next one will be of M or Tanner.... keep them coming EON.

[TheSilhouette]

Didn't we already get an M one?

[S K Y F A L L]

The character poster for M, was NOT officially released and was just concept art I believe. SEE HERE

Hi everyone, new to forums area. So has it been established yet whether or not Q in Skyfall is Boothroyd, or if he is another character akin say to how John Cleese's R became Q in DAD?

Welcome to CBn forums! All we know so far is that he's the new quartermaster, nicknamed Q. His real name hasn't been released.

[Armand Fancypants]

Hopefully moving forward he and M are confined to M's office. That's the way it should be. We don't need Q's lab anymore, a rather laborious process that grew stale.

[Iceskater101]

OMG I freaking love him. He is such an adorable nerd..
