It seems like Bond 25 faces another blow. The "jinxed" James Bond movie has been struggling through for months now. At first, the production team found it difficult to narrow down a director. After a vigorous hunt, Cary Joji Fukunaga was handed over the direction duties. A few weeks into filming, Daniel Craig injured himself in Jamaica. The actor had to undergo surgery after he injured his knee ligaments. To make things worse, a controlled blast went wrong and a portion of the sets in the UK was damaged. Now that the movie is getting back on track, another rumour has made the headlines. 

Avid James Bond fans would be aware that 007 movies alum Grace Jones has been roped in for Craig's final run as the James Bond. The stunning diva portrayed the role of the iconic villain May Day in the 1985 James Bond movie A View To A Kill. The actress walked on to the sets of the movie, prepared to deliver her lines for Bond 25. However, her pleasant day out in the sun turned gloomy. As per a report in The Sun, the actress walked out of the sets within a few minutes of the filming. 

A source reveals that upon reaching the sets the actress realised her lines were minimal and this insulted her. Her action left the production house furious. The report reveals that the bosses were pissed that they spent time and money to make sure a luxury residence was in organised for the James Bond alum. They were hoping that her inclusion in the movie would act as a crowd pleaser. The makers made sure the stay was well organised and Grace was warmly welcomed to the movie sets. However, 

the insider has been quoted stating Grace was "expecting to play a bigger role." When she realised it was merely a cameo, it did not go down well with her. 

The team is yet to confirm her exit. Meanwhile, Craig has returned to the sets of the film and has resumed shooting for the 2020 release. The makers released a slew of photos from the sets earlier this week.
