bond does a russian quite well so it is only a good opportunity to use this in his infiltration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cJAuwBq3W4
*cough* Putin *cough*

Cold and charismatic? Seems a bit contradictory, in my opinion. I don't find people charismatic when they're cold, as that implies a lack of emotionality.
Could be a psychopath type, who understands emotions and is able to emulate them in a charismatic way, but is faking those emotions.
The real question is, will he be the son of the man who taught James Bond how to drive stick-shift?
Danny Boyle set to direct it tho
Honestly, Cold War era villains are by far the most fun, even if it's a huge cliche. Bond was never really meant to be overly grim or dark, even if that went quite well for the Craig era. It was always supposed to be somewhat campy so seeing them go back to that, even if only a bit, is nice.
the pronounciation is pretty bad tbh props for trying though
However that kind of villain is so stereotyped that is already a trope. They could go with something new, like a traitor or a US politician moving in the shadows. And hopefully a plot that is rational and not filled with stupid decisions which formed already the "Bond Villain Stupidity" trope as well. When I rewatched old movies like Goldeneye or Another Day to Die, my nostalgia tinted glasses got removed. Half the time seems that Bond is actually lucky than being a professional ( letting the villain to don't finish Bond when there is a chance, having fuel cannisters in a control room, deliberately tell your plan thinking he's going to die now, etc... ). Skyfall was hit hard with these tropes and towards the finale the movie I was just plain bored ( and the way they removed the director of MI6 at the end was just shit ) and it was a shame considering the great beginning and some peak moments the movie had.
Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal Lecter?
Who's going to be 007? I'm not tired of seeing Craig.I I think they should reboot the Bond franchise with new stories set in the 60s-80s. Sorta like what they did with Xmen.
Melissa McCarthy
tbh i could watch craig do loads more bond films, he's probably one of my faves
To be fair, if they were doing a parody of James Bond, she's not a bad choice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9eryugJEWg I'd rather have her than Kevin James or Adam Sandler, at least.
I mean, people could see someone who's always stoic and unflappable, and think, "wow, what a cool badass."
Not really. Think about Kakihara from Ichi the Killer. I'd describe him as both cold and charismatic
I'm game, especially if it's blatantly an unflattering expy of Putin.
The irony of us going into Cold War 2.0 against Putin and his goons, the return of the good old Russian villains. History comes full circle again.
Basically the most overdone superhuman-esque call of duty type villian that has an ayn rand collection and has every edition of catcher in the rye as his bed mattress. Yawn.
yeah that was a real dumb choice, making all the craig era villians not be disparate and self contained stories unto each other, but retroactively part of a grand conspiracy against bond individuspecifically, with the classic shitty soap opera tier "IT'S ME JAMES, YOUR LONG LOST BROTHER" shit, who's primary motivation was "dad loved you more than me tho " is the worst "twist" i have ever seen. And it makes the entire world revolve around bond, rather than bond being a man with no name type of omni competent infiltrator into a self contained story, which works great. The entire point of bond is that he's essentially the eternal man with no name, who's story is made interesting by placing against a charicter study villian. But then they did the 343 industries thing of "IT'S A PERSONAL STORY NOW WHOOOOOO" and fucking ruined it.
But will he find the pee tape?
Pretty bad? Its like he is not even trying.
