Bond 25: 5 Things From Previous Daniel Craig Films It Must Continue (And 4 It Must Avoid)

Another big defining trait of the Daniel Craig Bond films were the complexity of the villains, who often served as the perfect juxtapose to 007's own flawed personality. A far cry from the mustache-twirling wrong-doers of the old classics, the more recent Bond bad guys were as troubled as they were unhinged, and rendered the hero/villain dynamic wonderfully more turbulent.

Take for example, Le Chiffre whose steely exterior gradually cracked during Casino Royale, on the revelation that he was merely a cog in a much larger wheel. Or Skyfall's Raoul Silva, whose tormented backstory was the perfect driving force for his ensuing badness. These characters had great nuances, unpredictable moments and were portrayed by outstanding actors who made sure to add a real sense of misguided humanity to their roles.

In this regard, Rami Malek seems like a nice choice. Decent villainy should be comprised of a complex broth that viewers can sink their jaws into, and cannot be overlooked as an essential factor to a good Bond film. In the examples where this has been done right, it has been done phenomenally.
