With Skyfall (2012) and this movie, Ralph Fiennes became the seventh major actor or actress who has appeared in both the "James Bond" and "The Avengers" universes, the latter being the English spy one, and not the comic superheroes one. From the original television series Agente speciale (1961), three cast members appeared in Bond movies: Honor Blackman played Pussy Galore in Agente 007 - Missione Goldfinger (1964), Patrick Macnee portrayed Sir Godfrey Tibbett in 007 - Bersaglio mobile (1985), and Dame Diana Rigg played Tracy Di Vicenzo in Agente 007 - Al servizio segreto di Sua Maestà (1969). The latter movie also featured as The English Girl, Joanna Lumley, who appeared in Gli infallibili tre (1976) which also starred MacNee. Nadim Sawalha appeared in The Avengers - Agenti speciali (1998), as well as two Bond movies: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and The Living Daylights (1987). Fiennes appeared in The Avengers - Agenti speciali (1998), co-starring with former James Bond Sir Sean Connery, who played the villain Sir August de Wynter. Of these seven actors and actresses, Fiennes and Macnee have portrayed The Avengers' character of John Steed, in the theatrical movie and television series, respectively, with the latter also voicing the Invisible Jones character in The Avengers - Agenti speciali (1998). In that movie, John Steed (Ralph Fiennes) and Emma Peel (Uma Thurman) get across the frozen river by "walking" on the surface inside inflatable plastic bubbles which is similar to how James Bond gets aboard Ernst Stavro Blofeld's (Charles Gray's) oil rig in Connery's final official series Bond movie, Agente 007 - Una cascata di diamanti (1971).
