Reports have emerged that Helena Bonham Carter is currently the favourite to play the villain.
With Danny Boyle officially set to direct the next Daniel Craig-starring James Bond film, the producers are eagerly working on completing the movie’s cast.
Should Jolie take the role over Bonham Carter, it would mark her second time acting alongside Craig, the pair having both starred in 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
“Everyone thinks Angelina Jolie is going to get the part but bosses want Helena more,” an insider told The Mirror.
