On 25th April, a special press conference was streamed from the Ian Fleming room at the Goldeneye Resort in Jamaica, the same place where Ian Fleming gave birth to the Bond novels and short stories, giving out exclusive details about the film.
We will have Daniel Craig returning as James Bond (his 5th and final outing as Bond), Léa Seydoux reprising as Madeleine Swann, Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q and Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner coming together for the film that still has been unnamed.

The Oscar-winning Actor Rami Malek has been roped in to play the villain along with Billy Magnussen. The official plot summary read, ‘A mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.’
The new villain had something very interesting to say about his entry in the Bond franchise, ‘I’m very much looking forward to joining the whole cast and crew, I will be making sure Mr. Bond does not have an easy ride in this, his 25th outing. See you all soon.’

And just like a ritual not much was revealed about the movie during the press conference and we are not complaining because that is how the previous Bond conferences have been.
Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the 25th magnum film will mostly be released worldwide on April 8th, 2020.
