[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”25764″ img_size=”830×461″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When you are as big of a star as Rami Malek, you can demand certain things from the projects you’re involved with. For the Bohemian Rhapsody and Mr. Robot star, his demand was simple. He’s playing the villain in the next James Bond movie. And he did not want his character to be motivated by religion or ideology.
Malek stated [in regards to discussions with the director Cary Fukunaga]:
“I said, ‘We cannot identify him with any act of terrorism reflecting an ideology or religion’. ‘That’s not something I would entertain, so if that is why I am your choice then you can count me out’.”
He continued:
“It’s a great character, and I’m very excited. But that was one thing that I discussed with Cary. … But that was clearly not his vision. So he’s a very different kind of terrorist.”
Malek’s character is supposed to be a high-tech villain who brings Bond out of his retirement.
What do you think of Malek’s character?
