If there was going to be a Bond announcement involving TH, his ass would be in London. The last time they announced, there was hoopla with Craig coming down the Thames on a speedboat...and life jacket, for which he was mocked.
I can't imagine the British spy being announced while the actor playing him is A) in sunny CA, B) at his gf's house in RI, or C) on a plane to Oz.
I don't think it's Bond related, at least no TH and Bond.
