Rhys Ifans lands an unspecified role in Bond 23

*Rhys Ifans will be joining Daniel Craig in the next big screen outing
for James Bond.*

Though the specific details of _Bond 23_ are remaining
characteristically hush-hush, _The Telegraph_ confirms that Ifans has
joined the film’s ever-expanding cast.

Ifans recently wrapped _The Amazing Spider-Man_ (above), in which he
played the villainous Lizard - but it’s not thought that
he’ll be brooding away as another villain in _Bond 23_.

That’s mostly because Javier Bardem has already been recruited
as the film’s central baddie.

Ralph Fiennes is also onboard for Craig’s third round in the
tux, reportedly playing a “complex” character. Meanwhile,
Judi Dench is returning as M, and Naomie Harris will play Miss
Moneypenny.

Despite wallowing in pre-production misery thanks to MGM's financial
problems, _Bond 23_ is definitely bouncing back with a vengeance - we
can't wait to see that formidable cast in action.

_Bond 23_ is being directed by Sam Mendes, and opens 9 November 2012.
