8 Ensemble Casting Choices For Next James Bond Movie
3. Mark Hamill As The Secondary Villain
In a similar public feeling to the upcoming primary villain, Mark Hamill is closely associated with his role as a protagonist rather than antagonist, due to his role as Star War’s original hero, Luke Skywalker. However, for a one-movie role of a megalomaniac villain who does all the talking but lets his henchmen do the rough-and-tumbling, there isn’t many better choices.
For those unaware, Hamill spent the majority of the 90s becoming an icon of villainy, albeit just his voice. The legendary actor played the Clown Prince of Crime himself, mastering the voice of the psychotic Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and many projects on multiple forms of media since. If Hamill brought just an iota of Joker energy to the role, then he could cement himself as one of the most memorable Bond villains in recent memory.
Furthermore, Hamill even has experience in the British Spy genre. The former Jedi played a bit-part in the outstanding Kingsman: The Secret Service as a converted villain. Should the franchise want to follow a more personal battle between Bond and the main villain, which would leave fans salivating, using Hamill as an insane, tyrannical pawn in this very personal game would make for unmissable cinema.
