“The Bridge” star Stephanie Sigman will join Daniel Craig in the next James Bond movie “Spectre,” it was announced today by @007 on Twitter.
Sam Mendes is returning to direct “Spectre” after his success with “Skyfall” in 2012. Craig is reprising his role as the British super spy, and he’ll be joined by a supporting cast that includes Dave Bautista, Christoph Waltz, Monica Belluci, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes.
Sigman will play a woman named Estrella, and chances are likely that she’s a femme fatale of some kind.
“Spectre” follows Bond deciphering a cryptic message to uncover a sinister organization. While M (Fiennes) battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.
Bond fans will remember that SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) was a major force in the early entries in the series, with Sean Connery battling the group in films like “Dr. No” and “Thunderball.”
Sigman starred in Gerardo Naranjo’s acclaimed thriller “Miss Bala” before joining the cast of FX’s serial killer series “The Bridge.” She’ll soon be seen on Netflix’s drug drama “Narcos.” She’s represented by ICM Partners.
Eon Productions is producing “Spectre,” which Sony Pictures and MGM will release on Nov. 6.
