Recent Bond villains may have taken themselves very seriously, but Rainn Wilson’s Bond villain could be a major return to form for the series.
He could easily join the ranks Christopher Walken’s Max Zorin from 1985’s A View To A Kill or Herve Villechaize’s Nick Nack from The Man With The Golden Gun.
It’s also certainly worth mentioning that bringing an actor like Rainn Wilson into the Bond franchise could allow the series to return to its campier roots after the somewhat darker Daniel Craig years.
While we absolutely adore the dark direction that the last four films have gone in, Wilson’s particular knack for scenery chewing could easily lend itself to a delightfully corny villain, unlike anything the James Bond series has seen in years.
