The following excerpt is a disappointing revelation from IGN’s brand new article, “The Secrets of Quantum of Solace” by our friend, Stax.

“His role’s been going up and down right now,” Wilson said of Wright’s Leiter. “I would’ve liked it to have been a little bigger but right now we just don’t have the space in the story for it.”

It’s unclear how many Leiter scenes have been cut but this is a blow to many Jeffrey Wright/Felix Leiter fans (like myself) who were hoping he would have a significantly larger role in Quantum of Solace. I still think he’ll have more screen time than he did in Casino Royale but it probably won’t be much more. What a shame…
