For many of us, Chiwetel Ejiofor had potential to be the perfect fit to step into Daniel Craig’s shoes and become the next James Bond. However according to Variety, the 12 Years a Slave star – and recent BAFTA winner – will instead become Bond’s adversary, following in the footsteps of Javier Bardem in Skyfall. Set to start filming in the Autumn of next year, if the rumours are to be believed and Ejiofor does indeed take on the role, it will be fascinating to see such an affable actor become so callous.
