John Kerry will play a North Vietnamese colonel who had plastic surgery to look like a westerner, with plenty of botox.

Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Al Pacino as Bond villain would be just perfect! :)

That would be perfect: MI6 vs. The Hood's Convention.

Al Pacino could do his Tony Montana impression while Pierce Brosnan tells Pacino's woman to "Say Hello to My Little Friend."

He may already have been mentioned as a Bond villain in this thread (I haven't read the whole of it), but I think Ian McKellen could be a good villain. If nothing else, he'd be a return to the elderly Bond Villain of yesteryear. His voice no doubt can be quite menacing.
It would be fun to hear him utter those words Bond fans like to hear from the bad dudes: "Goodbye, Mr. Bond."

Name: Niferious Crane
Age: 60s
Occupation: Doctor
From: Czech Republic
Plan: Crane's objective is to kill top world leaders by 'spiking' their medicine(as seen in the ever so subtle opening, by killing the leader of Austria).
Plot of Film: James Bond must find the chemical agent used to mass produce this bad medicine before Crane and his men do.
Name of Film: "For Queen and Country", because M tells James that "You must do this, 007; for Queen and for Country. There is no easy resolution. If this chemical compound goes into the wrong hands, the world will never be the same."


Wishful thinking. I want the character to have a real Czech last name, but he changed it to 'Crane' do to his love, and study of the beautiful birds. This character is loosely based on a Czech doctor I currently work for, although he is in his 80s.

Oscar winning Ben Kingsley

He would add a bit of gravity to the movie

A return to the bald-headed villain

And he would be cheap as he's just had two flops (Thunderbirds and Suspect Zero)!

Whatever happened to the villain's grand army of henchman?

Quite similar to the villian in my upcoming fanfic, Johnboy007.

He's actually Russian, around early forties to mid fifties. A former Admiral from the Russian army who was disbanded during the cold war for reasons of unwanted brutality.

And yes, he has a massive army of Russian militia. :)

You'd think Scaramanga wouldn't be as cheap of a villain, $1,000,000 a hit, and only one "henchman" and a dwarf.

Also remember that Love is required whenever he's hired. It comes just before the Kill.

Sir Ben Kingsley says "I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain."

Although he's apparently not too good at counting, I think this is good news!

I have seen him in the trailers for the dreadful looking Thunderbirds, he does look like a villain, obviously being so in that. It will be interesting to see if this rumor continues.

Sir Ben Kinglesy:

Won an Oscar. Popular Actor. Stared in high profile films. As much as I believe Bond is an area of film to kick-launch an unknown's American film career, Sir Ben is a great choice. But for some reason, I don't think he would be playing a sauve villain. :) He seams like a right-up-in-your-face kind of guy.

Kind of reminds me of a physical henchman more.

I'm delighted Ben Kingsley has read my recommendation for him to be a Bond villain!

The only thing I'd say is he would need a distinguishing feature in the make-up department or a unique character trait, but not one that would create a cliche baddy.

Not sure what.

I'm all for a distinguishing mark to make a return also. You are absolutely correct in that we can't have it be a cliche again, like Austin Powers.

I know we all want Ben Kingsley or other villians, but I don't think it will happen. The villian will be more of a physical threat to Bond as Gustav Graves was. I don't think we will see another antagonist such as Stromberg or Elliot Carver or Scaramanga. I wouldn't be suprised if the B21 villian will be like a Gustav Graves and I wouldn't be suprised if he can fly like Superman due to P&W writing and CGI.

You'd hope they will hold back on the CGI this time. Way I can see it happening after Die Another Day was that they say some of the fan comments and hopefully we can see some good changes this time.

Yes but they weren't the central baddies.

Did anyone ever see a movie called Madam X, with Bette Davis in a Bond villain like role? She was going to sell nuclear missiles to the highest bidder.

I think an older woman like that who can do sinister, or a younger woman who has allowed Bond to seduce her.

Willem Dafoe was awesome in EON

Willem Dafoe as Dr. James Malone a billionaire scientist who runs a Tidal Energy company which is becoming a global energy source but secretly ships nuclear weapons around the world. The mission: James Bond stops Malone from detonating nuclear bombs underwater, causing massive tidal waves on major coastal cites.

His henchman will be albino triplets named Tic, Tac and Toe.

I beg to differ. Regarding SPECTRE, you could call Dr. No the main villain in Dr. No, Largo in Thunderball, and thus, Klebb in From Russia With Love.
