Last year Craig confirmed he will return for a fifth and final James Bond film, for release in late 2019.
But with just under two years to go, not much else is known about the 25th official 007 movie.
Now Whishaw, who played Q in the last two Bond movies, Skyfall and Spectre, has spoken out on the film’s production during an interview for Paddington 2.
Speaking with Metro, the 37-year-old act 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.”
She said: “It’s still to be determined. We’ll hopefully be making that decision early next year.”
James Bond 25 will be released in UK cinemas in November 2019.
