We've seen Daniel Craig's 007 battle a number of nasty villains over the years, but what will make Rami Malek's character different to the baddies played by the likes of Mads Mikkelson and Christoph Waltz?
Well, more details about the
Mr. Robot star's character in
No Time to Die have now been revealed, including the fact that he's called Safin. According to producer Barbara Broccoli,
"We’ve thrown the book at [Bond] on this one. He is really the supervillain. He’s the one that really gets under Bond’s skin." Considering how personal things have become in the past, that's obviously a bold claim.
The longtime James Bond producer adds that Safin is
"a nasty piece of work."
There have been a lot of troubling reports about
James Bond 25 and it's widely rumoured that it's been plagued by issues which could result in it being a total mess. Throw in on-set injuries, controversy among fans about the "new" 007, and claims that director Cary Fukunaga fell out with the crew because he was busy playing
Red Dead Redemption II on his PlayStation 4.
Now, we'll just have to wait and see whether any of that will have an impact on what we see in theaters next Spring. Are you guys excited for
No Time to Die and Rami Malek's Safin?
