    If it is Malek’s character, can he realistically/physically be believable as someone significantly older than Maddy/Lea?

    I too believe that must be Malek’s character; but now I wonder if the child is Madeleine?

    I think we are getting sidetracked.

    Rami Malek's movement coach was working with the stunt double chasing the child...

    My theory is that the child is not a young Madeleine and is a new character who either dies in the opening or becomes integral to the plot moving forward. She may just be used in the opening to establish how bad a guy Malek is.



    Recent photos of Malek have him with a matching hairstyle to the guy with the gun.

    Pretty sure it’s his dad and that girls Madeline. The girls outfit is definitely 80s/90s style.


    We already know they were casting a girl to play young Madeline.

    Madeline would’ve lived in an area where that scene is being shot.



    So we are doing a mendes and maleks character or whatever is the brother of Madeleine hope this doesn't turn into days of our lives =))

    No. His dad was killed by Madeline and now he’s seeking revenge?

    How did you get him and Madeline are brothers from that..?
    Enough is enough
    The guy in the white jacket is Rami's stunt double. It's not his dad; it's not Blowjob; it's Malek. Enough with the baseless speculations.
    I will eat my shoe if it's anyone else.



    So the girl just so happens to be wearing clothes from the 80s/90s in present day??

    The henchman is even dated looking.

    Rami Maleks stunt double was probably chosen because he looks VERY similar to Rami. He could easily play his father when his dad was in his mid thirties early forties...

    Also, a casting call was leaked saying they were looking for a young white blonde girl to portray a younger Madeline Swann...

    It’s already been confirmed it’s a flashback scene. You’re the one making baseless claims.

    So Rami Malek kills a young blonde girl who looks just like Madeline while they are wearing clothes from the 80s/90s..?

    What is time travel involved????

    I think it’s VERY obvious that Rami Maleks stunt double was chosen because he looks similar enough to portray Rami Malek’s father.

    Madeline shot/killed Rami Malek father.

    Again it’s already been confirmed a hundred times...

    1) FLASHBACK SCENE

    2) YOUNG MADELINE CAST

  • As soon as we get the synopsis we should know for sure if this scene is a flashback scene or not. Thing is
    I thought there were images earlier with a new model Tesla and LandRover on the Norway set? I'll look for the link.

    Okay, I've done some more sleuthing. Having checked his Instagram, I believe the person standing with Sebastien Soudais is Polly Bennett (they recently began following each other on Insta).

    We know that Soudais has hinted that he is Malek's stunt double. Polly Bennett was Malek's 'movement coach' on Bohemian Rhapsody.

    11611962-6864111-image-a-35_1553857421349.jpg





    Therefore, can we deduce that the man in the mask is Rami Malek's character. Possibly, Malek's character's father (if we believe the timejump theory).

    Good sleuthing!

    Madeline would’ve lived in an area where that scene is being shot.



    I'm thinking all the evidence seems to point to this.



    If we watch the scene from Spectre, you can hear that Madeleine refers to a single man breaking into the house. I suspect that the Beretta pistol must have missed the man's face and took a chunk out of his mask. Hence the injury.

    The dated clothing, the casting notice for a young Lea Seydoux all seems to suggest this is the case.... the key evidence throwing some doubt on the theory is the use of Malek's stunt double and movement coach.

    Maybe EON are running out of cash and need to reuse stunt doubles


    I think it’s pretty obvious that they wanted to cast an actor who was in his 30s-40s and could appear to look very similar to Rami Malek.

    It could be Ramis father or brother.

    Madeline says a man broke into their home to kill their father and implies she shot and killed the man.

    Rami would have motive to kill Swann if she killed his father or brother.

    My guess is he was a part of a rival organization. He definitely wasn’t spectre if he was trying to kill a spectre agent.

    So it's this new organization runned by malek vs Spectre the whole family drama could get too messy we already have it with blofeld and Madeleine and white do we really need an extra layer

    My expectations for this film will drop if the stuntman is playing malek’s father instead of malek. I don’t see why the latter is less likely because the flashback took place 20 years before. Please no more family villain motivations.

    No, the casting call was for a 'young Léa Seydoux' and it was unclear as to which film it was for. It could very well be for B25.

    It’s Rami Maleks stunt double from previous films.

    The scenes being filmed are being reported as flashback scenes.

    It’s speculation and not confirmed.

    I just don’t see how Rami Malek could be chasing a young Madeline Swann.

    It would’ve been in the 80s/90s, Rami is currently 37 years of age. Lea is 31...

    So math wise...

    They both would’ve been extremely young. My guess is that it’s more 90s.

    The clothes are definitely retro.

    Maybe Maleks character is like a number 2 and replaced white for spectre and he is the one that went to take out white that be cool

    Rami looks like he is in his late 20s early thirties he definitely cannot pull off playing a younger and then older part. The stunt man doesn’t appear to be younger either he is Ramis age..

    If it was 20 years ago Rami would be 17...

    That’s impossible based on the photos.

    Quality of movie will be good, I am more worried about the plot being weak..

    I really think Bond needs an end of the world type plot.

    1) Casino- Finacial gain.

    2) QOS- Water supply control

    3) SF- Killing M

    4) SP- Controlling MI6


    Honestly pretty weak and average plots.. What happened to “USA is getting nuked”,

    “World war 3”

    Etc.

    cgi. Also rami's character can be older for much of the film.

    That would be cool, so long as he went independent before this film and spectre is not central to the plot.

    So you switched from it being confirmed to it being speculation.

    At least we've got that out of the way.

    I would like for the stakes to be big in this one. The villain's motivation should not primarily be personal.

    Very confusing stuff but it does mean we’re not completely spoiled by seeing this footage. We’ll just have to wait and see if...
    ...it’s a young Madeleine or Malek’s villain chasing an unknown girl.

    1) Casting call for young Madeline

    2) Retro outfits

    3) Every media outlet reporting it’s a flashback.

    Rami Malek isn’t even confirmed officially to be in the film...

    Nothing’s confirmed. Did they officially announce they were even filming in Norway?

    All of the info has been leaked.

    It’s not like the studio or 007 twitter account has tweeted anything..

    Based on those reports though I’d say I am 90% right. Anyone who disagrees just doesn’t want to believe it.

    Well if the guy is wearing a mask,

    Half of the mask is broken then you can’t even see his face.

    So they have to show his face if he’s playing him or if he’s a younger version/family.

    Without the mask on he doesn’t have any makeup, dots, etc anything proving its CGI..

    Only reason I think it’s a flashback is because the outfits are very late 80s early 90s.

    Also every media outlet is saying it’s a flashback.
