Rami Malek in Talks to Play Villain in Upcoming James Bond Movie

The actor, who just took home Best Actor at the 2019 Oscars for Bohemian Rhapsody, is reportedly finalising his contract to play the next villain in the James Bond franchise, according to sources.

Malek will be playing the bad guy opposite Daniel Craig

This is something which has previously been hinted at as it was reported that Malek was being eyed for the villain role in BOND 25 last year, but it was thought that the shooting schedule for the final season of Mr Robot would be an obstacle.

Malek was previously in talks to star as the villain before, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with his USA show Mr. Robot.

But now that the movie has been pushed back and filming isn’t set to start till later, Malek is once again in position to sign on to the 25th Bond movie.
