So either one of them is a minor role like Monica Bellucci in Spectre or Seydoux's role is diminished (maybe she dies?)

Rami

Looking forward to Craig's story coming to an end. Best Bond in my opinion.

That's the third Craig villain with an Oscar (unless negotiations break down).

Rami is a great actor, but I’m super excited Billy Magnussen is gonna be in this

[Ithil]

Ah the traditional post-Oscar win Bond villain role.

Does she have any other projects coming up besides The Crown? I hear a new Nolan movie's coming out in less than 17 months...

Well, Malek might be alright. He does have a certain bug-eyed intensity. 

 

Without wanting to sound all woke maybe this would have been a good film to have female primary villain for the first time? (No, the World is Not Enough doesn't count.)

Casino royale should count though. Best female character in a bond movie and technically she was the villain with the best motivations of the series

It's the same as World Is Not Enough though - a Bond girl who's revealed to be bad in a final act twist (and even then her motives were sympathetic). An all-out female villain would be a nice change. For a series that is hyper responsive to current trends I'm surprised it's taken so long.

It would only work if she was a genius with her own male henchman because we wouldn't want Daniel Craig having a fist fight with a female villain during the climax

With all the shit James Bond has gotten lately over its treatment of women, i dont think having Bond beat the shit out of a female as the climax would go down smooth 😂. And he couldn't lose the fight because that would be far fetched. A smart female Bond villain would work instead. Lena Headey would be good

Her initial circumstances were sympathetic but she was in the end an evil mastermind willing to murder millions to make her pipeline more profitable.

 

I think she was one of the more effective villains probably because before that she was one of the more believable love interests.
