RALPH FIENNES CONFIRMED FOR "BOND 24"

Ralph Fiennes confirmed earlier this week that he will be returning in "Bond 24". In "Skyfall" he was introduced as Gareth Mallory. But those who have seen the film know that his character takes over as "M" the MI6 Chief; a role previously filled by Dame Judi Dench. 

"I think everyone knows that, I don't think that's particularly a secret. I'm looking forward to it very much." Ralph Fiennes on playing M in "Bond 24"

Fiennes is contracted for the rest of Daniel Craig's tenure; which means he is optioned for "Bond 25". 

"Bond 24" will be released in October 2015 in the UK and November in the US.
