James Bond 25 villain: PROOF Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek has FINALLY bagged the role?
JAMES BOND 25’s villain is rumoured to be Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek. Does this new post confirm he’s bagged the role?
Daniel Craig reveals his James Bond return
Daniel Craig’s fifth and final 007 movie reportedly began filming today. However, James Bond fans still don’t know the title or cast of next year’s 007 outing. Nevertheless, rumours claim that Oscar-winner Malek, who played Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, will play the latest Bond villain. Last month, Collider’s sources claimed Malek’s representatives had successfully negotiated his shooting schedule for both Bond 25 and the final season of Mr Robot.
Now a French stunt performer has posted on Instagram heavily hinting he is shooting Bond 25 in Norway soon.
Interestingly, he ends the post with “#Bond25 We will rock you.”
Unless it’s a complete coincidence, it seems he was hinting at Malek’s casting as the villain.
We Will Rock You is, of course, a famous song by Queen that featured in the star’s Bohemian Rhapsody movie.
A French stunt performer has been posting several hints on Instagram that he'll be filming #Bond25 in Norway shortly. This aligns with the rumoured 25 March date. He also made an indirect reference to Rami Malek... #JamesBond

Since posting on Instagram, the stuntman has since deleted the “We will rock you” part of the message.
Why would he delete it unless it was a spoiler that Malek had been cast?
Well, hopefully, we won’t have to wait much longer, seeing as a press conference announcing the title and cast of Bond 25 is expected very soon.
With filming having already begun, the traditional event will take place on or around April 1st, according to MI6 HQ.
Bond 25’s title may also have leaked in the last few weeks.
While the film’s working title is Shatterhand, a Breakdown Artist working with “B25 productions” listed the film as Eclipse.
This could just be another working title of course, or it could, in fact, be the name of the next Bond movie – it certainly sounds Bondy enough.
Bond 25 is set for release in UK cinemas on April 3, 2020.
