Bond 26 needs a great new villain opposite 007.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although casting the new 007 for Bond 26 remains the most important decision facing the franchise, choosing the right villain could ultimately prove to be equally vital. Bond villains are one of the franchise's most beloved traditions, and they often come to define their movies.
While Cox would be excellent as a rich and powerful villain like Raymond Carver, he has also shown that he can play different kinds of villains in his career. Black Panther and Luther: The Fallen Sun show two different styles of Bond villain that Serkis could potentially play. His character in Black Panther is intelligent but pathologically greedy and excitable. In Luther: The Fallen Sun, he plays an eccentric showman waging a provocative war against polite society. His character in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Supreme Leader Snoke, never lived up to expectations, so James Bond could give him the big franchise villain role that he deserves.
7 Lena Headey 300 , Dredd , Game of Thrones Close The Bond franchise has always struggled with compelling female characters, especially villains. While there were signs during the Daniel Craig era that the "Bond girl" trope is slowly evolving, Craig's 007 never faced up against a female villain.
Hong Chau would be a great pick to play a Bond villain even though she doesn't fit the mold of imposing men who have typically played the role. One of Jason Isaacs' more recent villain roles came in Armando Iannucci's satirical comedy The Death of Stalin. Admiral Zhukov is just one of many villains jostling for power amid the political upheaval following Stalin's death, but Isaacs' performance ensures that he stands out from the crowd. He is a remarkable blend of menace and sheer brutality. Isaacs could play a similar character in Bond 26.
3 Vincent Cassel Mesrine , Black Swan , Jason Bourne Close Whether it's Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, Emilio Largo in Thunderball or Karl Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me, the Bond franchise has always had an affinity for European villains. Fortunately, there are plenty of European actors who would make excellent counterparts to the new James Bond, including Stellan Skarsgård and Jean Reno, for example. Vincent Cassel is another obvious choice.
