Original IO Interactive characters (John Greenway, Charlotte Roth, Selina Tan, Bawma) round out the lineup. Casting and performance capture covers the major recurring roles; the launch trailer and the Beyond the Light dev-diary series introduced each performer in turn.22Confirmed Cast44CharacterActorRoleJames BondPatrick Gibson26-year-old recruit; primary playable characterMPriyanga BurfordHead of MI6 and Bond's superiorQAlastair MackenzieHead of Q Branch; gadget engineerMoneypennyKiera LesterMI6 staff officer with an expanded field roleJohn GreenwayLennie JamesSenior field agent and Bond's mentorCharlotte RothNoémie NakaiDGSE agent; field partner across several missionsSelina TanGemma ChanPsychology and game theory expert; TacSim architectBawmaLenny KravitzMajor mid-campaign antagonist66Patrick Gibson as James Bond77Patrick Gibson plays a 26-year-old James Bond as arrogant, brash, and impulsive: a Royal Navy aircrewman with talent that outruns his discipline.
