Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek has bagged the role of a villain in the 25th Bond film titled ‘Bond 25’. The makers made an official announcement in an event in Jamaica where late Sir Ian Fleming created James Bond, and where the latest film will be set. Daniel Craig will star in the titular role saving the world from Rami’s villain.

Malek was not present at the event so joined in via satellite and his recorded message said, “I promise you all I will be making sure that Mr. Bond does not have an easy ride of it.”

In an earlier interview, Malek assured an offbeat villain than Bond fans have come to expect.

“The film will take the perspective of what it means to be a villain, and perhaps flipping that on its head in some way, shape or form,” he said.

Talking about his villain’s dark side, he revealed, “I think he’s a very smart human being who has discovered something that can possibly alter the world as we know it in a very significant way.”

He added, “I think there are aspects that you could say relate to Elliot in that respect. I mean, these days, it does take only one human being who figures something out to change the world as we know it. And I think that is now what makes the world so threatening.”

“So, we’ll see what this particular character does in his free time that might be a little insidious,” he teased.

Malek is now busy drawing inspiration from other great villains to add in some shock and surprise for the audience and maybe even somehow make him relatable if that’s possible.

“There are so many different ways you can look at these characters. I’ve been watching Joaquin Phoenix in this new Joker movie and you can see he’s doing something so special. I often look at Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and what he did as that villain was something that was just so indelible and I just, ultimately have to look at the character and what he says to me, and why these characters are just so iconic and lasting and so unique,” he explained. “This one is very unique as well.”
