James Bond 25: Did Game Night star Billy Magnussen confirm casting on Instagram?

Game Night actor Billy Magnussen may have just confirmed his involvement in Bond 25.

The star posted on his Instagram account a seemingly innocent post that actually gives a big clue as to which big film he will be soon starring in - the next James Bond outing.

The actor has also starred in films such as Into the Woods and Ingrid Goes West, along with television series like HBO's Boardwalk Empire and Netflix's Maniac.

The caption in the post  read "#tbt lost in Vietnam, and you get a sign. The address doesn’t even make sense."

The apparent throwback photo shows a Vietnamese street with everything faded out of focus apart from a door with the number 007.

Magnussen had previously been rumoured for a role as a "CIA agent who crosses paths with Bond" in the film.

The post quickly drew comments on the supposed hint.

"007???? BOND 25???" said one user.

"Congrats if this is in reference to Bond 25!" said another

Finally, one joked "Very subtle lol"

The actor has also starred in films such as Into the Woods and Ingrid Goes West, along with television series like HBO's Boardwalk Empire and Netflix's Maniac.

He's also starring in the Disney live-action adaption of Aladdin as the new prince.

Bond 25: Release date, title, cast, director, plot and song

Bond 25 will be the final instalment to star Daniel Craig as 007, but will also see the return of Lea Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, and Ben Whishaw as Q.

If there is indeed a CIA presence in the story, we may see the return of Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter.

We can probably also expect Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek in the role of the film's Bond villain, if a previous Instragram post is anything to go by.

The film will be directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, following the departure of Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle over "creative differences".

Bond 25 is released in UK cinemas on April 8, 2020.
