Specifics weren’t made clear, but producer Barbara Broccoli said, “We’ve got quite a ride in store for Mr. Bond.”

Broccoli said the film will start with the British secret agent on holiday in Jamaica, where the film is shooting on location.

Malek wasn't able to be in Jamaica for the video announcements, but he did hint about his role in a video message posted to the 007 Twitter page.

“I promise you all I will be making sure Mr. Bond does not have an easy ride of it in this, his 25th outing.”

Others confirmed in the still untitled film are Lea Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, Ben Whishaw as Q, Ralph Fiennes as M and Rory Kinnear as Tanner. Cary Joji Fukunaga will be directing after Danny Boyle dropped out "due to creative differences."
