Jeffrey Wright Back For Bond 22

By Kellvin Chavez on January 3, 2008

In an article confirming Mathieu Amalric, who played a paralyzed stroke victim in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," will be facing off against Agent 007, Variety also confirmed another cast member will be returning.

A studio exec also confirmed that Jeffrey Wright, who played CIA agent Felix Leiter in predecessor "Casino Royale," will reprise that role in "Bond 22."

Film begins shooting today at Pinewood Studios in London, nearly a month behind its original schedule. It is still scheduled to premiere on Nov. 7.

Bond-centric blogs have been abuzz with additional casting speculation. As part of a profile on "Bond 22" helmer Marc Forster, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported that Swiss actor Anatole Taubman has been cast as a villain/henchman, though there was no confirmation from the studios. In the interview, Forster also told the newspaper that the latest pic will delve deeper into Bond's psyche.
