No Time To Die Trailer Debunks Rami Malek Classic Villain Rumor

Thanks to No Time To Die's Super Bowl commercial, it's become clear that one classic James Bond villain Rami Malek won't be playing in the project is Dr. No. Like most aspects of this 25th James Bond movie, Malek's character, named Safin, has been shrouded in intense mystery. The actor has been open on how his work on Bohemian Rhapsody inspired him to take original creative choices with the role, while it's also been revealed that the character will have a massive intellect and no ties to any real-world religious affiliation. Otherwise, the next James Bond villain has been kept as vaguely-defined as possible prior to No Time To Die's release.

What is known about No Time To Die is that it will be the final outing for Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond. It will also see the past of Bond's lover, Dr. Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux), catch up to both her and Bond, while cast members of previous 007 movies, like Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Jeffrey Wright, returning to the fold. No Time To Die will also see Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, and the aforementioned Malek playing brand-new characters, with Malek playing the primary villain.
A revelation about that villain managed to emerge through No Time To Die's Super Bowl commercial. At the 0:23-second mark, viewers get a clear glimpse of Safin's hands. Those hands are clearly not metallic, putting to rest a long-standing fan theory that Malek would be playing a new version of the classic James Bond villain Dr. No. Given that Dr. No is known for having metal hands and Malek's Safin doesn't have any, it doesn't appear likely that No Time To Die plans to revisit this iconic 007 antagonist.
Given that this is Craig's last James Bond movie, it's understandable that speculation would emerge that the franchise would pay homage to its early days by revising a classic villain like Dr. Julius No. It's the kind of circular logic many franchises, including Star Wars, have employed for their final installments. However, this was always an unlikely development for No Time To Die given that Craig's James Bond movies have, with the exception of Christoph Waltz's Blofeld, been more interested in creating new villains rather than rehashing old ones.
Thus, Dr. No was always a long-shot to appear as the villain of No Time To Die even before this brief footage from the Super Bowl ad outright debunked the idea. Given how mysterious Malek's villain still is, it's not impossible for the character to turn out to some other previously-existing James Bond adversary. This is especially a possibility given that the aforementioned take on Blofeld by Waltz was claimed to be an original character for months prior to the release of Spectre. However, the non-metallic hands of Malek's No Time To Die villain are a clear sign that, even if a classic James Bond foe ends up being the primary villain of the production, such a foe won't be Dr. No.

March 23rd, 2023. By Nathan and Kenneth Maslow-Naed. Incomplete There seems to be some kind of human Hegemony Totem poll going on involving income support. The English are at the bottom. You have to comply with the UDHR Article 25 but what method in terms of amounts would you implement to comply; how much do you say you will pay your culture per citizen? Are you English? Are you Canadian? All human life matters. Have you watched the Real House Wives of Durban? I think I am worth as a South African about $50,000.00 USD per year. The sales tax will be....23% and the profiteers can get a whole percentage to themselves( 22% of sales tax daily for the people and the system to keep it going and 1% daily for the profiteers and they can continue to pretend that it is the people's bread or the people's salted pork. But, why is anyone making people secretly offer half of their income support entitlement before they get even one pound? Where does the other half go? Its a bit too public; what ever it is going on and instead of asking us to agree to half in our emotions before you make payment, just send what you think is best and sent it to everyone who has applied; not once but four times? However, it is best you send the whole allotment due to the citizen on application and take the play dough of a whole 1% from the daily sales tax collection. Send the income support money actually to every citizen automatically or else there is a gender equality issue and some other criminal law issues. Do you know people who cannot rest until they put their spoon with their saliva in the food intended for guests at a bridal party banquet? Is there a uh.....profiteer some where who can now see how he can do what he does without bringing catastrophe attention on to himself? I would help him manage this if given the chance. Did you know Warren is an Anglican Church member? He is also a Pentecostal Church member, a Baptist and he will be joining the Presbyterians soon also. Did you know any ALUSRA (TM) idea now sells for $1300.00 per week on a 50 year deal? Contact us and we will read your terms in the MOU. If we say "yes", then you will send payment to us on a weekly basis with their being an opportunity to discuss and work out details of contract with a signing of the final contract to take place within 90 days when a lump sum draft for 20 years worth of payments is due. Once this payment is made, the contract termination date will change from its 50 year anniversary to its 30 year anniversary with the rights of ownership to finally pass on the date of the final payment. The buyer can continue to pay down the balance with lump sums until this final payment is made. This could be done on the 100th day if they so choose. Co ownership will ensue until that final payment is made and Mr. Lyon will participate in the design, conceptual and actual development of the idea and work as a company administrator. Click here.
