After a lot of to-and-fro over whether any of Bond's post-Skyfall Scooby Gang would be returning for Bond 25, there's been a raft of confirmations for Cary Fukunaga's follow-up to Spectre.

"Lea will be returning," Fukunaga told the Daily Mail. "You have some of the best actors in the world here. Why wouldn't I have the best coming back?"

As Seydoux played Alpine psychologist Dr Madeleine Swann in Spectre, it sounds like the upcoming film could be a straight sequel. Fukunaga has already said that Bond 25 will continue the story arc started by Casino Royale, and the amount of returning names suggests that Christoph Waltz's conspicuously not-dead Blofeld might be back in the frame too.

Fukunaga also confirmed that we'll see Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny and Ben Whishaw as Q, meaning the entirety of the old gang is back together for one last tilt at stopping Spectre from bloody ruining everything for everyone.
