007 fights an new Cold War

Possible details about the (as yet to titled) 25th Bond film may have emerged thanks to a leaked casting sheet. If the casting sheet is true James Bond will be taking on a Russian bad guy. This could be considered a reaction to recent real life events. The only film in the series that 007 taking on Russians operating on official government sanction was 1981's For Your Eyes Only. Other that 007 took on rogues with agendas (Octopussy and The Living Daylights being 2 examples) of their own. We shall see when the film is released next year.
