Javier Bardem confirms “James Bond 23” villain role
It was recently reported that Javier Bardem was offered a role in the upcoming 23rd installment of "James Bond." Since the actor has been offered villain roles ever since "No Country For Old Men," it was assumed that Bardem's "James Bond" offer would once again be to play a villain, LA Times reports.
In an interview with Bardem, LA Times asked what the role is all about. "I'd be playing Bond's nemesis, yes," he confirmed. "But it's not that obvious. Everything is more nuanced. It's very intriguing. They're changing the whole thing, the whole dynamic."
The actor is clearly a big fan of the franchise and has already met with director Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition, American Beauty), but will not make a decision whether to take the role until he has the chance to read the entire script.
