A James Bond film is maked or breaked on the villain that is cast. Get the baddie right and everything else should fall into place. Alas, there’s been a few lousy nemeses in recent years, with Bond dispatching lamos like there’s no tomorrow.
However, that’s all about to change.
That’s because, in the next Bond flick (as yet untitled), we’re going to be treated to Javier Bardem and he’s a real deal bad-ass. Could it be that we’re about to get the best Bond villain ever?
There’s been months of speculation in movie circles and now, our frendo Bardem is going to do his absolute best to kill James Bond until he’s dead.
During an interview with Christiane Amanpour on Nightline, Bardem confirmed that he would be playing the bad guy in Bond 23.
Daniel Craig is going to get his acting chops punched off.
Bardem says:
?I am very excited. My parents took me to watch the movies and I saw all of them. So to play that is going to be fun?
?They chose me to play this man, but I cannot give you many details.?
You can check out how great Bardem is at being evil with these clips from the wonderful No Country For Old Men in which we’ve entirely based our view that he’ll be great on.

NCFOM was a great movie, but it didn’t exactly show off Bardem’s acting chops. Overacting a psychopath seems a pretty easy role to land yourself with.
