Brace yourselves, Bond fans: We still don't know what the title of the next movie is going to be, but we do know who the main players are.

We know a whole bunch of new details, in fact. The upcoming instalment in the 007 franchise -- dubbed "Bond 25" -- had previously been shrouded in mystery and speculation aplenty.

We knew Daniel Craig was returning (for the last time), we knew Cary Joji Fukunaga was directing, and we knew the movie was slated for a 2020 release. But that was about it.

Then, on Wednesday, the official 007 Twitter feed announced a Live Reveal event.

So what do we know now?

As promised, the live event took place today and saw producers and the cast gather at Ian Fleming's GoldenEye villa in Jamaica to answer a bunch of questions from fans.

So what did we actually find out?

Well, first of all, a note on what we didn't find out: there's still no new title. Bond 25 is still going to be known as Bond 25 for the time being.
