Details of the casting call for a villain to face Daniel Craig in the next James Bond film have reportedly been leaked.

Bond fan site MI6 claims to have been given details of the call for the chief henchman - who will fight Bond several times in the as-yet-unnamed sequel to Skyfall.

It suggests producers are seeking a "main assassin" who is "extremely physically fit and over 6ft 2in".

And the site adds: "Whoever wins the role will have several altercations with Daniel Craig's 007 throughout the film and also a driving sequence."

Retired sports stars will be considered (how about Becks?) - along with anybody "very unusual".

And the character has been given the working name of "Hinx" - although this may change apparently.

The new movie is being directed by Sam Mendes again, following Skyfall's unprecedented success.
