The 37-year-old actor has played Q in the last two James Bond movies, Skyfall and Spectre, and is expecting to return for Craig’s final film.
Shooting for the 2019 movie starts later this year, with an announcement on new details due from producer Barbara Broccoli at some point within the next few months.
Whishaw is currently playing Brutus in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar on the London stage, and recently spoke in an interview about his hopes for Bond 25 as Q.
Chatting to the BBC, he said: “I’m secretly hoping that I’ll get to do more action in the next one.”
Whishaw continued: “I’d like to be a little bit more involved – it would be wonderful.
“But we’ll see. Like everything to do with James Bond, it’s all a mystery at the moment.”
The actor’s younger incarnation of Q was certainly more active in Spectre, teaming up with M, Tanner and Moneypenny to help Bond.
With rumours circling of a James Bond shared universe, perhaps Q will even get his own movie?
He said: “I haven’t had an update for a while. I would imagine, I think they have a release date for next year, so I think by the end of this year we have to have started filming something. “Although it has gone strangely quiet, but that’s often the way it goes.”
James Bond 25 will be released in November 2019.
