He has a vampire-like quality about him (makes sense he was in the Twilight saga). And making the creepiness child-like makes it even creepier, imho.
Wasn't there a rumor about Bond investigating cannibalism? Or am I making that up? LOL
@BondAficionado I wouldn't be surprised if it is a location for Bond 25 that is very interesting
Also (if cast), we don't know how he'll look either. The might give him a Bond villain trait; a huge scar or something (a scar is probably unlikely given what happened to Blofeld in SP). Or maybe just a pair of glasses to frame those big eyes of his:
I just wonder what kind of villain he'll be. I have a hunch it will be a highly intelligent one (evil Q?); a villain who'll challenge Bond in other ways than physically. Given his age in comparison with Craig, they might even want to use that as a factor somehow.
Carver was a very clever guy and manipulated the media, billionaire etc but couldn't blow the skin off a rice pudding. Greene and Graves were also very clever but weak (has there ever been a main villain who was not clever?). So the casting crew either look back and say "what makes a great villain" (based on Bond history) or break with that and go for a young, small guy.
I doubt he's up for anything other than the lead villain. He's a potential (likely?) first-time Oscar nominee this year, so it's not the time for him to take on supporting roles.
Is this a common British expression? If so, I love it!
I kind of hope you're right as I'm really skeptical about him as a villain. Not skeptical that he will be, I think it's pretty much a given that they want him, but skeptical that he'll be convincing. I wasn't too keen on Ejiofor either.
Makes me think of Benicio in LTK - yes, a secondary role could work with him. I just don't see him as a main villain.
Oh please no!
Tamil Rahani, Perhaps?
Count me in on that @TripAces. It's Malek. And I'm glad. The guy is a chameleon and a very good thespian. He can play young, he can play old, he can play intense,... If you watch Mr. Robot and Bohemian Rhapsody and the awful remake of Papillon, you'll know what I mean. He's the real deal.
All in.
I would rather Viggo going up against Craig's Bond than Malek, Malek is getting cast if he does because he's one of the hottest actors around.
I've not seen him in anything but I think it stinks of trying to cast the flavour of the month.
Whereas Viggo would have no problem being menacing and charming.
Those 2, the chemistry between them would be great.
Thank you!
Don't lose hope yet, my man.
And, yeah, DC is looking ready to kick some ass. I never thought he'd be able to do it!
(sarc)
Craig came out and supported Three Billboards last year - so he’s made a habit of this. Wouldn’t it be nice if he actually starred in these type of films, instead of hosting lunches for them. Just a thought.
I think Baz will almost certainly have a story tomorrow, we are only 6-7 weeks out as well.
Also, aside from Viggo, remember that another star of Green Book is Mahershala Ali and he’s the new star of True Detective (CJF’s old show). He would be nothing short of perfection as the lead villain.
Though, I think Malek is a done deal and I’m v happy about that.
He looks fine.
I for one would be happy if he was cast.
At 38 he’s hardly a youngster. In fact Toby Stephens was just 33 when he played Graves in DAD.
Malek does look younger than he is though, I still think he could play the lead villain, at least he’s a decent actor that could bring something to the film.
Time will tell.
You are being picky. For a 50 year old dude, he looks very fit. There's no gut.
Maybe you could see him in something?
I feel if we get a villain younger than Craig, it will be a Zuckerberg type.
