these actors are just waiting to sign
the lease on their ridiculous layers
there you go what you doing is that
letting go in my suit welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 actors who
should play James Bond villains what
what you got huh want to bring it on for
this list we set out to determine who
should be the next actor to go
toe-to-toe with mi6 is top agent take a
shot ah as double-oh-seven has taken on
iconic villains in the past from doctor
note to RAL Silva in terms of specific
criteria we’ve left the field pretty
open so long as the actor is alive he or
she qualifies and if you’re inspired
feel free to suggest potential villain
names for the characters these actors
might portray in the comments just for
fun number 10 vincent cassell no you
shouldn’t be winning in the first place
I think most known in North America for
his villainous role as night Fox in the
oceans trilogy vincent cassell is an
accomplished French actor with a
tough-guy reputation man emotion at last
I shall take often sought after to play
off characters with a short temper he
would serve as a much more
out-of-control villain than bond is used
to if he were cast in one of the
franchise’s movies early pretty
it’s this very unpredictability that
would set them apart from the usual cool
customers bond faces off with now stop
saying that that’s exactly what I’m
talking about
stop being a freak again we’d also like
to see Castle embrace his roots and play
on his natural talents that are
showcased in scenes like the laser dance
sequence in Ocean’s Twelve number nine
Jada Pinkett Smith then where’s my money
by occupying the role of fish mooney on
Fox’s Gotham Jada Pinkett Smith has
displayed to the world just how devious
she can be in the double-oh-seven movies
Pinkett Smith would serve as a
refreshing change up to the often
familiar Bond formula a strategy is
still being formulated since the
franchise is filled most dominantly with
male antagonists she would move beyond
the role of Bond girl and into the
spotlight to throw the mi6 spy off the
trail of her true plan actually one of
my staff has been stealing money from me
so we’re beating his punk ass we think
she’d be especially good at carrying
over the cruelty and cunning from her
Gotham character into a Bond villain who
will stop at nothing to achieve her
goals number eight Joaquin Phoenix
what are you doing put that away
he’s an unrivaled actor with more
nominated performances than we can list
here and he’s known for how truly he can
transform himself for a role Oh many
others
641 what in particular Joaquin Phoenix’s
range would allow him to deceive bond in
more ways than one thanks to a
multi-layered performance as the villain
able to play both sincere and
treacherous smile for me nope Phoenix
would undoubtedly be a wild card for
double-oh-seven
though he passed on playing Doctor
Strange because he’s not a fan of the
idea of starring in many movies of a
single franchise he could easily slot
himself in for one film and make his
mark on the bond universe
number seven Sean Connery never again
never bear with us here
yes he’s played double-oh-seven before
but with his last Bond film being never
say never again in 1983 that wasn’t even
an eon productions movie like the
majority of them Sean Connery has had
enough distance from Bond now to return
as a villain once you’re blonde when I
came in could be I tend to notice little
things like that fanservice is an
obvious factor here but it shouldn’t be
overlooked how incredibly talented he is
as an actor
welcome to hell blow felt able to be
both convincing and comedic as proven by
his turn as bond Connery also handles
action very well at his age as seen in
films like The Rock
number six Ken Watanabe
popping up in more and more Hollywood
blockbusters as the years go by Ken
Watanabe is at the perfect point in his
career to take on double-oh-seven enjoy
your evenin gentlemen as I consider your
proposal he conveys intelligence and
sincerity in many of his roles along
with the capability of ferocity and
force nature has an odor a power to
restore balance I believe he is done
down movies like 2014’s Godzilla reboot
and even inception wouldn’t be the same
without his presence meanwhile he’s
often regal and intelligent performances
in films like The Last Samurai prove he
won’t easily be stirred by James Bond
the perfect Burleson is a rare thing you
could spend your life looking for bang
and it would not be a wasted life number
5 Charlize Theron what have you done
fresh off return as furiosa in Mad Max
fury road this Oscar caliber actress has
made a name for herself as an elegant
and world-class talent yes baby
her transformation in 2003 for the film
monster shows that she could portray
more than a simple OneNote character a
monkey could do that shit man in a Bond
movie we hope she would embrace both her
beauty and her brains I will give this
wretched world the Queen deserves Theron
would especially be primed to define
bonds expectations as a broken mind like
the one she portrayed in the affirmation
monster and is able to handle the action
like furiosa of fury road
number four Kevin Spacey Jesus Christ is
this I’d like to speak to my lawyer
a usual suspect for villainous roles
Kevin Spacey is one of the hottest
actors in Hollywood at the moment thanks
to the success of house of cards feeling
hungry today with a string of nefarious
roles under his belt he’s proven time
and again that he’s truly a great foil
for any protagonist pick any one of his
roles as a framework for a Bond villain
the take would have to be really really
good to get me even vaguely interested
whether it’s Mickey’s manipulative
manner in 21 or John Doe psychotic
dedication from seven she begged for her
life shut up and for the life of the
baby inside of her Spacey can be both
revolting and charming but nevertheless
he’s always entertaining moments like
this require someone who will act do the
unpleasant thing necessary thing yeah
number three Gary Oldman what doesn’t
kill you makes you stronger your time
for revenge is at hand
one of the most chameleon ik actors
working today Gary Oldman can always be
counted on to deliver a unique
performance please shoot protection with
the global stakes of a Bond film Oldman
would truly be able to elevate his past
roles
I like these calm little moments before
the storm
it reminds me of Beethoven and with him
playing a villain in particular not only
would bond need to be at his best but he
would also need to grow as a character
to overcome the big bad Oldman what are
you starting around for try Kevin god
dammit
roles in Air Force One and the fifth
element show that Oldman has what it
takes to stand toe-to-toe with any
Action Hero
number two Malcolm McDowell I would
advise you to be a little more careful
in the future perhaps no name is more
closely associated with big screen
villainy than that of Malcolm McDowell
good for laughs and lashings of the old
ultra violent noticeably recognizable as
Alex from a Clockwork Orange
this English actor has a list of
antagonizing roles a mile long on his
actors resume Olli I’m watching you when
it comes to bond we see McDowell playing
the villain as more of an armchair
killer intellectual yet capable we would
have a well-thought-out plan
look to tolian sorne of Star Trek
generations for reference good friends
with the previous entry on our list gary
oldman we can only imagine the time bond
would have dealing with whoever employs
these two
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
what did you do put three bullets in his
chest
it’s a glorious day salmon it’s time
tomorrow I’ll have the West’s most
powerful leader in one hand the world’s
most feared terrorists in the other oh
yeah you come hello I tried and I asked
some of you number one peter dinklage
tyrion lanister Queen’s brother greatest
accomplishment considering he’s often
the most associated face with the
landmark series Game of Thrones it’s not
surprising that Peter Dinklage will
likely be able to take over the silver
screen as well fine by me not that he
hasn’t been in big screen movie so far
but we’d like to see Tyrion Lannister’s
quick wit and determination translate
into an unstoppable Bond villain just as
long as I get what’s owed to me
inserting Dinklage into the bond
universe would give double-oh-seven
someone he needs to best mentally rather
than having to use his physical
abilities by the time you see the need
for my program it’ll be too late
able to convey a genius-level intellect
Dinklage would undoubtedly create a
mastermind villain it’s able to enthrall
with more of an emphasis on dialogue
handi-capable that’s like calling me
height challenged then the traditional
action sequences the franchise is known
for but that’s exactly what would make a
movie with him so interesting and
entertaining to watch what is a lot but
I’m not asking you for what I want
I deserve $30,000 $30,000 you smoking
meth do you agree with our list not like
this
would you want to see play at James Bond
villain Blanco
