Daniel Craig will return to as the man who likes his martini shaken, not stirred in the 24th edition of James Bond, as production is set to get underway later this year.

Variety report that shooting will begin on December 6th in the famous Pinewood Studios, and that Craig will be back for another turn as the iconic secret agent. He's not the only one that's going to be back on board however, as Sam Mendes, who directed Skyfall, will be returning at the helm. 

The team around Bond also looks set to remain the same, as Ralph Fiennes will be back as M, Naomie Harris returns as Eve Moneypenny, while both Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner and Ben Whishaw as Q will also reprise their parts. 

Release dates have also apparently already been set for the new movie by the production team of Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, along with MGM and Sony, who hope that the movie will arrive in cinemas on October 23rd 2015 in the UK, while it will see release just a few short weeks later in the United States in November.
