Not earth-shattering news, but good news nonetheless. Jeffrey Wright's a pretty good actor, but he was rather limited in the last Bond. Hopefully he's allowed to spread his wings a bit more this time around.

Jeffrey Wright is a good actor, glad to see he'll be back for more Bond.

I'm glad Felix is back.

Hes a red shirt this time.

I agree with all. He was good in the last Bond, but very limited. His character seems like there is more going on, you know?

originaldave77: are you suggesting that he will disagree with something that ate him?

It would be nice to the Felix role expanded a
bit. Maybe that could actually reflect the Bond-Felix relationship of the novels. As for
the "disagreeing with something that ate him" scenario, that could work if it is handled
as it was in the novel of "Live and Let Die."
