Tomorrow Never Lies
* Ben Whishaw still not confirmed for Bond 25
* In a recent interview with BBC discussing his return to Shakespearean theater in the role of Marcus Brutus in Julius Caesar, Ben Whishaw shed some light on whether or not he will be retuning for Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond
* Whishaw emphasises he knows nothing about the next film and can't even be sure he'll be in it. But he enjoyed stretching his muscles in Spectre in a way Q hadn't before.
* "I'm secretly hoping that I'll get to do more action in the next one. I'd like to be a little bit more involved - it would be wonderful.
* "But we'll see. Like everything to do with James Bond, it's all a mystery at the moment.”
* It would seem odd for Whishaw not to reprise his role in 25, and seeing as the only announcement surrounding the project that has been made is Craig’s return and the release date, there’s not reason yet to doubt the young Q’s return…still…who knows there could be a slight chance Whishaw’s days as Q are over.
* Christoph Waltz will NOT be returning for Bond 25 and has regrets about Spectre
* It would seem that the heresy surrounding Christoph Waltz’s return as Blofeld in Bond 25 can be put to rest as the actor has once again stated that he will not be coming back
* This comes from an interview with The Times in which Waltz says the following:
* "It was an incredible experience to be part of this postwar cultural phenomenon. Yet I can't say that I was happy at every step of the process. I feel that there are some loose ends with my engagement. And I'm not saying that I'm going to be in the next one. I'm not going to be in the next one.”
* The actor then went on to discuss some regrets he had with Spectre:
* "But let's say, in terms of my feeling that I have sufficiently served a purpose, there are a few white blotches on that map for me, personally. I don't want to be critical of something that doesn't deserve to be criticized, so that's why I'm being a little cryptic. There are just certain things I am unhappy with. I wish I would have gotten the opportunity to iron those glitches out.”
* With this lingering question seemingly put to rest, the question remains as to whether another actor will take over the mantle as Blofeld in Bond 25 (a common bond trope) or will Blofeld simply be put to the side?
* All Bond actors Definitively, scientifically, stupidly...Ranked based on their attractiveness
* A new scientific study has analysed the faces of all the Bonds, according to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, and revealed the best and worst looking of them all.
* Dr De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery explains how the study works: "The Phi ratio of 1.618 has long been thought to hold the secret of beauty, and now with the computer mapping we can calculate exactly how it applies to men."
* The ratio can be applied to faces (or bodies), and the closer the ratios are to 1.618, the more beautiful they supposedly are.
* The Ranking:
1. Connery
2. Moore
3. Dalton
4. Brosnon
5. Lazenby
6. Craig
* Quick Mention that there has been no official update on Bond 25 thusfar
* This comes after Barbara Broccoli stated last year that there would be big Bond announcements coming our way early 2018

* As Bond undergoes a post-mission medical examination, he relays the story of his previous mission to the examiner. Each cut, bruise, and broken bone connected to a specific event of the mission. A connection is made between two people with different purposes: one to save lives, the other to take them.
