Newsdeck: Rami Malek to play Bond villain in franchise's 25th film next year By Reuters reuters

Malek, 37, drew critical acclaim for his portrayal of Queen front man Freddie Mercury in last year’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

The still untitled movie known by the working title “Bond 25” will be Craig’s fifth go-around as Britain’s most famous fictional secret agent, and will feature on-location scenes in Jamaica, the producers said in the webcast from the Caribbean island. “A break was what I needed,” Craig told Reuters on Thursday in Jamaica, where some of the cast members are filming. “I’m incredibly excited just to get going.”

Producers had already announced that the movie, set for release next April, will be directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the man behind the first season of the U.S. television drama “True Detective.”

So brilliant as Freddy Mercury!! I think he could probably play any role!

He's living my dream. Kodwa ke, he's going to kill that role - can't wait to see his performance.
