They added that producers are looking for a Scandinavia-born actress to play a Bond girl, with the main one, being British. This possibly rules out a few of the rumors that pegged French actress Lea Seydoux as the leading candidate for the role, but nothing is certain yet.

MI6 added that location shooting will take place in Austria, a car chase in Rome, and a possible sequence in Morocco. Pinewood Studios in England will once again be home to 007 for studio filming.

Bond 24 is directed by Mendes from a script by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and John Logan. It will have Craig return alongside Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naoime Harris, and Rory Kinnear all set to come back after Skyfall.

The film opens in theaters on November 6, 2015.
