Q's Back!: in the form of Ben Whishaw

Expect a full update on Skyfall (yes, i know! we'll talk about it later), but for now here's a quick update that's rather important.

After being left out of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, everyone's favourite gadget expert is back! This time, however, Q is coming in a bit of a younger form, with Ben Whishaw up for playing the role.

I only know this guy as Sidney in Layer Cake, but tv lovers may know him better as Freddie Lyon in the Hour or maybe Ariel in the Tempest. He's also played numerous film roles (as well as that one in Layer Cake), including the lead in Jane Campion's Bright Star and supporting roles in I'm Not There and the International.



At 31, and still with that youthful face, we can expect a more down-with-all-the-tech kinda of Q, in contrast to the much older one seen before. Another revamp of a character then. How will it come off? It will not be until  October 26th 2012 that we will probably find out, but until than, as always, we can speculate.

He's younger which means a fresh take, sure, but necessarily a good one? I am not entirely convinced. Change for a younger age bracket may have something more got to do with money than artistic taste (if artistic taste is involved in any Bond film). But its not only me to decide, what are your thoughts? Glad that good-young Q is back? Liking the new image? Share your views below...
