Andrew Scott (Moriarty in Sherlock) would be a villain in Bond 24 according to the mirror.

He is an amazing actor. It would be a great choice.

Some discussion here: http://debrief.comma...uncement/page-3

General conclusion was that large pinches of salt were necessary, but he could make for an interesting small role. I think he's great, but don't see him as a major villain.

[DamnCoffee]

Oh god. 

[007jamesbond]

He likely a henchman/minor villain to the main villain. I doubt he is capable of being the villain.......tv and movie are not the same 

[Call Billy Bob]

If he is in the film, I'd want him to be a Largo/Number 2 type.

[S K Y F A L L]

Who?

[JCRendle]

Who?

 

Played Moriarty in the BBC's hugely successful Sherlock. An Irish actor, double Lawrence Olivier Award winner, BAFTA Award winner, double Irish Film and Television Award winner, BBC Audio Drama Award winner etc.

Very talented and respected actor - whether he's been cast in Bond 24 remains to be seen, we'll see tomorrow morning...

[Iceskater101]

So has this been confirmed yet?

[SecretAgentFan]

Yes!  He will play someone within Mi6.

[Vauxhall]

Yes!  He will play someone within Mi6.

Or, at least, within Whitehall.

His character is called Denbigh. I'm thinking he won't necessarily be the most trustworthy of government colleagues...

[sharpshooter]

Bond Smells A Rat may make another appearance on the soundtrack, perhaps.

[Matt_13]

I am absolutely thrillled for Andrew. He looked nervous at the press event. I have no doubt he will be a standout.

[Iceskater101]

Yeah I mean I would be nervous too at a press event like this!

[dtuba]

Well, he was standing next to Bautista. If that guy headed towards me, I'd probably soil myself.

For good reason!

 

 

I'm hoping for a fight in an office building and Hinx Batista Bombs 007 through a table

Interesting that CNN suggests Andrew Scott took a role which Chiwetel Ejiofor was originally in contention for.

Heard that as well as reading more info regarding the leak.

[Iceskater101]

These fight scenes will hopefully be really good in this movie.

If Andrew Scott's character is intended as a bureaucratic British Intelligence type - but not on the side of the angels - then might we get the scene from the book The Man With The Golden Gun in which Bond attempts to assassinate M in his office? Only in this case the scene is changed and Bond assassinates Denbigh in his and succeeds?

 

(As for British Intelligence types sometimes not being on the side of the angels, it's something you couldn't make up because it happened in real life. In the Cold War era the UK produced some first rate spies such as Philby, Burgess and Maclean. Well at least their employers in Moscow thought them first rate!)

I guess it's possible we could get such a scene.  It certainly wouldn't be the worst way to go about having that kind of thing happen, and it would probably be a very shocking scene to see on film.

 

I do think, though, that the attempted assassination of M would make for a bold and very interesting way of introducing a new Bond, assuming that the right filmmakers were on board to make such a scene work just right.  Doing it that way would definitely be bold, and would have to be done perfectly by some very skilled filmmakers, but I think it would be a cool way of introducing a new Bond, perhaps the one after Craig.

Yes, I agree. It's possibly too soon after the assasination attempt (successful?) on the last M in Skyfall. But I do find the attemped killing of M an interesting plot idea and would like to see them explore it in a later movie.

 

By the way, who killed Judi Dench's M? Did we see the actual moment she was shot and which of the henchmen did it?

In Skyfall, M is taking cover behind an arch when she sees a henchman from Silva. She turns around and shoots at him, but misses. After which, the henchman returns fire towards her direction. I belief there's a brief frame of a bullet hitting her before cutting to Bond showing up and killing him.

[Guy Haines]

If a movie is ever made of the story from the book You Only Live Twice - perhaps as Craig's final film, who knows - then the best way to introduce the "Bond attempts to assassinate M" scene from TMWTGG, (Assuming a variation of it isn't used in Spectre), would be at the start of the movie after that. And as pointed out, it would be a shocking, but striking way to introduce a new actor as Bond.

Just saw Andrew Scott in London, so safe to assume he's not involved in any current filming.

Did you manage to extract any information from him, by any means possible?

Afraid not! He was eating his lunch.

Are you allowed to say who you're playing?

 

I don't work on anything that I'm allowed to speak about, it's very frustrating. No, I play a character called Max Denbigh.

 

How does it feel to be part of two of the biggest franchises in Britain?

 

Really, really extraordinary. There's a certain pressure. On the first day of the Bond set I was very nervous, every line I said I kept hearing... [hums the James Bond theme].

 

Your character in the new Bond film, how is he different from Moriarty, however much you can share?

 

... He's got sort of, I would say, a Prince of Wales check in his suit, and all Moriarty's suits are either navy or grey.
