James Bond 24 Title Rumors, Release Date News Update - 007 Movie Casts Dave Bautista As 'Skyfall' Followup Villain Hinx - Lea Seydoux Rumored As Femme Fatale

While the 24^th James Bond film (known only as Bond 24) has yet to garner a title, director Sam Mendes has found his new movie's villain. After we found a casting call for a character named Hinx a few months back, this week we can announce that Dave Bautista of Guardians of the Galaxy fame will fill that role and take on Daniel Craig in 2015. Plus, the film's femme fatale might have been found in Lea Seydoux (Blue is the Warmest Color).

As we previously reported on the casting call for Hinx, the film was looking for an actor that could remind us of the classic Bond villains from the other films. According to the casting call, the character is "over 6 foot 2 inches. Hinx is the main henchman/assassin. We are looking for an imposing extremely physically fit actor. He has several fights with Bond and will have to have stunt training. He has to drive. We are looking for someone very unusual, possibly from a sports background."

Dave Bautista, a former WWE star and powerhouse of a man, fits this description quite well. He stands around 6 feet, 6 inches, too, so that covers the first detail quite well.

Meanwhile, Lea Seydoux has reportedly been in talks for the film's main female role that will surely become another iconic "Bond Girl." She's performed in another blockbuster action film before (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), so we hope this rumor plays out as true!
