Chiwetel Ejiofor, the villain of Bond 24?

The 36-year-old Oscar nominated star Chiwetel Ejiofor is in early discussions to star in the upcoming James Bond film Bond 24. Chiwetel is likely to illustrate a baddie in the film. The actor will not be playing a crook for the first time as he has prior experience in flicks like Children of Men and Four Brothers.

Daniel Craig is already signed to revive his character of James Bond and other cast Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris will also be coming back. Sam Mendes of Skyfall venture will helm the project penned by John Logan, while Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are attached to the same as financers. The film releasing on November 6, 2015 will start its shooting early in summer. Chiwetel is roped in for three more projects Half of a Yellow Sun, Z for Zachariah and Being Justin.
