A full cast is yet to be confirmed, although pre-production has begun.
007 spoof Johnny English was written by Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade who wrote films including Skyfall and Spectre). The film starred Blackadder actor Atkinson alongside Ben Miller, Natalie Imbruglia and John Malkovich who played the villainous Pascal Sauvage.
