Danny Boyle may have quit James Bond 25 due to a disagreement with the film’s main villain.
The director recently departed the project due to “creative differences,” and Boyle’s choice for who should portray the villain may have been the main sticking point.
The Telegraph reports Boyle wanted to cast Polish actor Tomasz Kot as the villain, with the film’s script centering on political tensions with Russia. However, Kot was reportedly thought of as a “left-field” decision for a Bond villain.
