What have James Bond fans said about the announcement?
Along with the dramatic cast reveal, viewers were able to ask the exciting new line-up of actors questions about the upcoming movie via social media.
But the cast and crew were unable to give details about the film's title and full plot, among other information, leaving Bond fans speculating on Twitter.
One wrote: "The global reaction to the #Bond25 launch event can be summarised in seven characters: TITLE?!"
"So, if #RamiMalek is the villain, I think #AnaDeArmas will be his wife, or some lover," wrote another.
"The #Bond25 announcement was a bit of a damp squib. No title. No cast reveals we didn't already know. No proper answers in the Q & A. Meh.." added a third.
The filming, which began last month, will take place in a string of glamorous locations all over the world including Jamaica, Nittedal in Norway and the Italian province of Matera.
Bond 25 comes five years after the 24th Bond film, Spectre, was released.
It will be the fifth and last time Daniel Craig will play Ian Fleming's secret agent, having already starred in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).
