According to a report in The Sun today Ben Whishaw, who was confirmed as joining the cast of Skyfall in a press release on November 3rd, is going to play Q in the new James Bond film. The lightweight article states:
JAMES Bond will have a rival in the hunk department after rising star Ben Whishaw was cast as the new super-geek Q.
The article quotes the usual unnamed source and should be taken with a large pinch of salt.
