Bond Movie #24: New Iconic Henchman Wanted

[ARNie]

007 will go toe to toe against a classic physically imposing henchman in the 24th James Bond film, MI6 can confirm.

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.

MI6 can also confirm that Bond 24 shooting starts in December and will run to June 2015 at Pinewood Studios and on location.

So as long as he doesn't keep talking about bananas...

Hopefully they can get someone who can both look AND act the part, like Robert Shaw from "From Russia With Love".

But wouldn't it be interesting if Bond's adversary were a hot female, just as skilled and just as ruthless as him, but for the other side?

I have to pick Dwayne Johnson, due to the fact that his grandfather was in a classic Bond movie back in the day. The backup pick has to be Brock Lesnar.
