James Bond will be revisiting a familiar face.
Daniel Craig will be having his last hurrah as the suave British spy in the forthcoming film, so far titled Bond 25.
The flick has not been without challenges — first questions about whether Craig would return, and then Danny Boyle signing on as director, only for the Trainspotting filmmaker to pull out, putting the entire project in jeopardy.
He was replaced by Maniac director, Cary Joji Fukunaga, who now has plans to bring Craig’s arc — which began in Casino Royale — full circle.
The 41-year-old intends doing that by reuniting 007 with Dr. Madeleine Swann who was played by Lea Seydoux.
The French actress was first introduced to the world of Bond in Spectre.
“You have some of the best actors in the world here. Why wouldn’t I have the best coming back?!” Fukunaga said of her return as well as that of Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, and Naomie Harris.
Bond 25 will be released on February 14, 2020.
