Rami Malek Is Reportedly In Final Talks To Play The Main Villain In JAMES BOND 25
Fresh from his Best Actor Academy Award for Bohemian Rhapsody, it's just been announced that Rami Malek has entered final negotiations to play the chief bad guy in Cary Joji Fukunaga‘s James Bond 25...
After being previously rumored to be in line for the main villain role in Bond 25, Collider now reports that Academy Award-winning actor Rami Malek has entered final negotiations to play the latest thorn in 007's side.
It sounds like this is pretty much a done deal, but the studio is currently working on finding a way to accommodate Malek's commitment to shooting the final season of Mr. Robot. Details on the character he'd be playing are scarce, although "the villain has been rumored to be a blind man."
Should Malek sign on, he'll join returning cast members Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes and, of course, Daniel Craig as the iconic secret agent. In addition, Variety reports that Billy Magnussen (Maniac) is "the top choice to play the CIA operative that crosses paths with Bond."
The still untitled Bond 25 is set to fire into theaters on April 8, 2020.
