Fans of the first two Daniel Craig James Bond films might have been wondering where Q, his aide in the tech department, was all along. He's making an appearance in “Skyfall” and above is the first official picture.

Played by Ben Whishaw, Q is definitely much younger now though, one might hope, no less savvy for it.

Whishaw has already received lots of critical acclaim for his roles in “Perfume,” “I'm Not There” and “Layer Cake” (which also starred Mr. Bond himself, Daniel Craig) so, undoubtedly, his take on Q should be an interesting one.

“Skyfall,” the latest 007 installment, also includes appearances from Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Berenice Malohe and Naomie Harris, and will be out later this year.
