SPECTRE: First Official Look At Dave Bautista As 'Mr Hinx' & Lea Seydoux As 'Dr. Swann'
Empire has debuted another couple of stills from the 24th James Bond movie, Spectre. They give us our first glimpses of both Dave Bautista as henchman Mr. Hinx and Leaa Seydoux as Dr. Madeline Swann.
"When I came over to meet Sam [Mendes], I only asked two questions," says Bautista in Empire's in-depth feature on the film. "I asked him if Mr. Hinx was a badass. He said, 'Yes, he's a badass.' I said, 'Well, is Mr. Hinx intelligent?' He said, 'Very.' That's what I like about Mr. Hinx. He's very well-dressed and very well-mannered. I'm not just here to fight people. He has a sense of humour. He definitely knows what a metaphor is." Just as Hinx doesn't sound like your average Bond henchman, it seems the mysterious Dr. Madeline Swann won't be just another "Bond Girl". "I don't consider myself a Bond girl," says Lea Seydoux. "I think I'm not really the stereotyped Bond girl. I feel quite different. You can't be like, 'Oh, James.' You have to find something else. She's not a fighter, she's a doctor," she adds. "She fights in another way." Be sure to pick up the current issue of Empire for more.
