Chiwetel Ejiofor frontrunner to play villain in Bond 24

In the mood for some awesome BOND 24 news?

Looks like Chiwetel Ejiofor is currently being eyed to play the villain in the next installment opposite Daniel Craig. Actually, that’s pretty fantastic news. I think that Ejiofor would be a worth adversary. Currently the actor is assumed to be the frontrunner, which makes me wonder who else they have on their minds to take on the role of the baddie.

Sadly, we don’t have any additional details on the character at this time. Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw are said to be reprising their roles for the next installment.

I can tell you that the next roles to be cast will be two female leads. One is a new bond girl, and the other is “a Scandinavian with a troubled past who will serve as a brief love interest for Bond.” Nothing too shocking there. There’s always a girl with a troubled past who is sexy and appealing.

Sam Mendes is back on board to direct the script from John Logan.

Would Ejiofor be a good villain? Got anyone else in mind?
