Blend goes on to state that this is coming from a "reliable source" with inside info, yet they seem to be going out of their way to not confirm anything. Weisz has openly expressed interest in being in a Bond film in the past, and has a close working relationship with Daniel Craig. What's more, she used to have a thang goin' on with director Sam Mendes, who last we heard was in talks to helm the film. Weisz would be up to play the mysterious head of the globe spanning Quantum Organization, the nefarious syndicate causing Bond so much grief for the last two films.
Obviously, Weisz's presence would be a major coup for the franchise. Having an actress of her caliber, going toe-to-toe with Daniel Craig could setoff some major fireworks, since we're so used to seeing women used primarily as playthings in the series. Um, except for Judi Dench.
