MovieWeb has uncovered a major plot point from the upcoming James Bond film Skyfall, which is currently filming now (just yesterday we saw a new behind-the-scenes look).
Ralph Fiennes – who played Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films – is set to come into this film and replace a departing character.
From MovieWeb’s report:
It seems as though Ralph Fiennes is actually going to replace Judi Dench as the new M. This will be Dame Judi’s final 007 appearance, with Fiennes set to carry on the character into the unforeseeable future.
This is what we were told.
“Ralph Fiennes play’s a government agent, which we never get a name on, because he is set to play the new M.
Skyfall centers around M (Judi Dench) where her past forces her to leave as head of MI6, and find a new M. The board of MI6 then turns to a government agent (Ralph Fiennes) to take over. M (Dame Judi) is now forced to train the new head of MI6.”

Personally, Dame Judi’s M has been one of my favorite characters in the series and it’ll be sad to see her go. Skyfall hits theaters November 9th, 2012.
What do you think of this surprising twist? Could this be revealed in future promos/trailers or did they want this to stay quite up until the release of the film?
