Main characters
Here are the key figures you'll meet in the campaign (spoiler-free):
- James Bond (Patrick Gibson) — A 26-year-old recruit — raw talent, a short fuse, and everything to prove before MI6 grants a licence to kill. Gibson's first video-game role.
- John Greenway (Lennie James) — Bond's reluctant MI6 mentor, a veteran Double-0 who partners with him to unravel the conspiracy.
- Dr. Selina Tan (Gemma Chan) — A psychology and game-theory expert who fronts MI6's Tactical Simulation (TacSim) program.
- Bawma (Lenny Kravitz) — The flamboyant main villain — described by Kravitz as 'the largest black-market dealer in the Western Hemisphere.'
- Miss Moneypenny (Kiera Lester) — MI6 ally and a familiar name in Bond lore, reimagined for the origin era.
- M (Priyanga Burford) — The head of MI6 who oversees the Double-0 program.
- Q (Alastair Mackenzie) — MI6's quartermaster, the source of Bond's gadgets.
A notable cast
IO Interactive built the game around original characters rather than reusing film roles. Patrick Gibson plays the young Bond, Gemma Chan plays Dr. Selina Tan, and musician Lenny Kravitz plays the villain Bawma — not to be confused with actor Lennie James, who plays the mentor Greenway.
