JAMES BOND 25 has seen another alleged leak, this time claiming Angelina Jolie is set to play the villain, while Lily James and Dua Lipa are in the running for Daniel Craig’s co-lead.It has a release date set for November 2019, but very little is known about Craig’s fifth and final James Bond movie.While he’s definitely signed on, rumours have been mounting around director Danny Boyle and John Hodge’s script.Now a new leak has arrived from a Reddit user who previously claimed: “I work in the film industry and know people tangentially connected to the world of Bond.” Cashley Persia alleges: “I’ve heard that Boyle has committed to a script and casting is underway.” They continued: “Supposedly, the big roles in the script are the female villain and Bond's understudy (another female role). “I hear Sophie Rundle, Lily James, Ella Purnell and Antonia Thomas have auditioned/met with Boyle (though this list is not exhaustive). “The role is not a love interest however, [it’s] the co-lead of the film. “I’ve also heard that Boyle isn't adverse to discovering a new name and possibly someone who isn't an actress. Though it sounds like a moronic suggestion, I've heard the singer Dua Lipa is high on the list.” Of the actresses mentioned, James is certainly the biggest star and is the lead in Boyle’s next film, a Richard Curtis rom-com, which he will shoot this summer ahead of Bond 25.Meanwhile Rundle is best known for Peaky Blinders and Thomas starred in Misfits and Lovesick.Now they all might be around 30-years-old but Purnell is only 21. But she play a younger Jolie in Maleficent.And speaking of the former Tomb Raider star, she’s apparently the first choice for the villain and is “keen” to take on the role. The leaker added: “Finally, the main villain has been written with Angelina Jolie in mind.“I’ve heard this name for a very long while. I never quite trusted it but Boyle has wanted her since day one and it looks as though she's keen. “They are now actively courting her and the script is being adjusted accordingly."

Angelina Jolie Making Brad Pitt Jealous By Flirting With Co-Star Ed Skrein?

A new report claiming Angelina Jolie wants to make Brad Pitt jealous by “flirting” with Maleficent 2 co-star Ed Skrein is completely made-up. Gossip Cop can exclusively debunk this ridiculous report. The actress has no intention or reason to antagonize her estranged husband.It was announced earlier this month that Skrein will play a villain in Disney’s Maleficent sequel, which is expecting to start shooting in London sometime this year. The actor gained popularity following his role as the villain Deadpool, but according to Star, Jolie only wants the handsome actor in the movie so she can cozy up to him on set.A so-called “source” tells the magazine, “Angie chose Ed because he’s young and gorgeous, and has a perfect physique,” adding that she “thinks Ed’s hot and loves the idea of working with him.” The outlet’s questionable insider further contends that Jolie is “looking forward to chatting with him behind the scenes” in an effort “to get to know Ed and find out what makes him tick.”The seemingly phony tipster continues, “And she also knows that if word gets out about her flirting with Ed, it will drive Brad nuts! She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t interested in seeing how this pans out.” This entire narrative, however, was seemingly fabricated simply because a handsome actor has joined the cast of Jolie’s upcoming movie.For starters, People very recently reported that Jolie “has no interest in dating at all” following her split. The trusted entertainment magazine added, “She’s absolutely not seeing anyone and will not be.” The notion that the actress is eager to strike up a romance with Skrein, who shares a 7-year-old son with his longtime girlfriend, simply isn’t true.Meanwhile, Jolie said in her Vanity Cover story last year that she and Pitt “care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.” That goal isn’t to make each other jealous by flirting with co-stars. Additionally, it’s understood that Jolie and Pitt have been amicably negotiating their divorce and deciding what’s in the best interest for their children. Creating bitterness and resentment is not part of the plan.Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time the unreliable tabloid has made up a story about the actress using another man to make Pitt jealous. Gossip Cop recently busted the magazine for falsely claiming Jolie was “revenge dating” Johnny Depp to get under her estranged husband’s skin. This latest article involving Skrein is more nonsense.
