Chiwetel Ejiofor in Talks to Play Villain in Upcoming Bond Film

The Wrap has revealed that there are ongoing negotiations with Chiwetel Ejiofor to play the villain in the upcoming installment of the James Bond film series.

The 24th of the enormously successful espionage films will star Daniel Craig, in his 4th consecutive appearance as Bond, and will be directed by Sam Mendes, who also directed the latest Bond film Skyfall.

It has surely been a busy period in Ejiofor's career lately, after his recent successful role and Oscar nomination for 12 Years a Slave.
