Thinking of whom Boyle might cast in terms of previous collaboatationsā¦
Apart from the obvious and mentioned McGregorā¦
Maybe Mark Strong (sunshine). Marks also a friend of Craigās.
Vincent Cassell (trance) Probably too obvious as the main villain, but perhaps another role.
James McAvoy (trance) would be a good villain or fellow 00.
Kate winslet, Jeff Daniels (Steve Jobbs), or even Fassbender as the villain? Thatād be a shocker!
Paterson Joseph (Babylon)is a fantastic actor whoād make a great villain (great anything for that matter)
Ewen bremner or Jonny lee miller (trainspotting) in some capacity. Or Kevin McKidd - a great villain or henchman (superb in Rome and Game of Thrones)
Fassbender would be a great villain. Though Iām holding out hope that the villain of Bond 25 will be a woman.

Bond: ā#metooā

I feel like there #metoo would pretty much apply to every woman in the Bond canonā¦
Craig/Boyle/Hodge/Filming Date all confirmed!!! Wellā¦ Yippee-ky-ee-aye buck-a-roos.
And thisā¦
Agreed.
(Sorry folks. I am just re-emerging from a birthday weekend combined with an American Holiday weekend 
)
Fantastic that news is starting to come. Can feel it building all over again.
No.
Bond has never been an employer who forced himself on an employee and threatened to ruin her or blacklisted her on the job market for resisting his sexual advances.
That is what the #metoo and #timesup movement is fighting against. Not men flirting with women.
(It is weird that this misunderstanding has become so common, it resembles the gun control debate in the USA which often gets misunderstood as ātaking away the second amendmentā.)
Of course, the way Bond flirts with women reflects the manners of the times in which the films were produced.
Those manners are often repugnant. But Bond has never been a predator. He actually risks his life again and again to protect and rescue women. He basically is the archetype of the knight in shining armor.

Indeed. Now is actually the best time. Because once a new Bond film premieres, it usually signals the beginning of a new drought.
Indeed on the final Craig Bond being a classic, stand alone. Much like GF. It was the third time around and after DN/FRWL, letās give SPECTRE a break. Let Bond go up against a baddie of comparable means to SPECTRE or Smersh yet still posing enough of a threat to the world as a whole regardless of personal gain. Good old school megalomania. I also want a battle royale with Bond and an allied team charging in with the clock ticking 'ala OHMSS or FYEO. Just my hope/wish.

Intriguing! so the question is; Craigās or Bondās
That indeed is an interesting detail.
Usually, personal wedding bands are taken off when actors shoot a scene. They are playing a character after all. And even if they were so giddy showing off their personal relationship status, it would be most surprising that Craig playing Bond even only in an ad for a beer company would insist on keeping the ring on his finger for that.
Soā¦ is that the great, innovative idea here?
Bond has married, probably Madeleine, and then he gets back into service becauseā¦
Damn, this could only mean the PTS is the ending of OHMSS.
Or does the whole film take place in London, with Bond going home everyday to talk shop with his wife?
Or EONs to product placement
Hate to say I told you so 
(And that flirtation with hubris no doubt means it wonāt happen!)
What hubris? WeĀ“re dissecting hard cold facts on a message board.
