Q James Bond Movie

Q James Bond Movie, The 31-year-old – whose past movies include Bright Star, Layer Cake and Perfume – is the youngest actor ever to have been cast in the role, marking the first time the character is being played by an actor who is younger than James Bond.

He will join Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe and Ralph Fiennes in the movie, which began filming earlier this month.

And news of his casting ends months of speculation over whether the character – who did not feature in either of Daniel Craig’s previous outings as Bond – would return.

‘Female fans will have more than Daniel to gush over now Ben’s been cast as Q,’ a source told The Sun. ‘He’ll be a big draw.

‘It’s a bold decision as it means Q will be younger than Bond for the first time. His role will be very different from previous Qs. He’ll be far more serious, as is the trend with the new films.’

Q was most famously played by Desmond Llewellyn, who made his first appearance in 1963’s From Russia With Love.

He played the part for the next 36 years’ worth of Bond films, his last appearance being in 1999’s The World Is Not Enough which premiered just a few weeks before he died in a car crash.

John Cleese subsequently took over the role of Q in 2002’s Die Another Day but the character did not feature in the two most recent 007 adventures, Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.
