The James Bond 24 production is looking to cast an iconic henchman, says MI6. According to the site, Daniel Craig’s 007 will be facing a “physically imposing henchman” in the November 6, 2015.
“Casting has begun for the main assassin, with the search specifically focussed on someone extremely physically fit and over 6′ 2″. Whoever wins the role will have several altercations with Daniel Craig’s 007 throughout the film and also a driving sequence. Former sports athletes will be under consideration along with anyone ‘very unusual’. The character has the working name of ‘Hinx’ (which may change before shooting starts) and is said to be between 30 and 45 years old… The goal is to find the next Jaws or Oddjob – a henchman so different to anything that has gone before that they will become instantly iconic in the film series,” they say.
Director Sam Mendes is expected to start filming the new James Bond movie this December at Pinewood Studios and other locations.
