10 Actors Who Should Play Future James Bond Movie Villains

Jordan has rocketed to fame in recent years after turning superb performances one after another, and after giving the MCU one of its best villains to date, little needs to be said about his ability to portray a convincing yet sympathetic villain.

His work on films such as Creed and Black Panther, also shows a willingness to get involved with franchises, making his appearance in a Bond film sometime in the future not so unrealistic.

There are once again a number of possibilities available in relation to what type of Villain Jordan could play, but one option could be to have him play as an AWOL CIA operative, who could, if you wanted, be Bond's long-time friend Felix Leiter.

Now this might be a bit out of left field but, with ‘No Time to Die’ being Craig’s last outing as 007, the franchise will be looking to reboot itself in the next instalment. It is therefore, the perfect time to shake things up, and making a long standing and well trusted character into the villain would see the reboot start with quite a bang.

This would, also, allow Jordan to inject some humanity into the role, as at some point, he’d have to explain his betrayal to Bond.

If done well, a Bond villain portrayed by Michael B Jordan could be just as memorable as Eric Killmonger, and would be the perfect opposition for the younger version of James Bond we could be getting in the next incarnation.
