Helena Bonham Carter is tipped to play the villain in the new James Bond movie.



Producers of the spy thriller - currently known under the working title of 'Bond 25' - are keen to sign the 'Harry Potter' actress up to star opposite Daniel Craig in his fifth and final appearance as 007.



But Bonham Carter, is not in line to be a Bond Girl, as movie bosses want her to play the film's main villain.



An insider told The Daily Mirror newspaper: "Everyone thinks Angelina Jolie is going to get the part but bosses want Helena more. At the moment they are just finalising the cast."
