BOND’S BEST (WORST) BADDIES
QUEEN movie star Rami Malek is set to lord it as a villain in the new Bond film.
The Oscar-winning 37-year-old, who picked up an Academy Award for his role as Freddie Mercury in the Bohemian Rhapsody flick, is expected to pay a blind baddie alongside Daniel Craig’s 007.
But when it comes to evil opponents in the spy thrillers, Malek has got some tough acts to follow.
Here JAMES MOORE pays tribute to some of the franchise’s best – or worst – evil-doers of all time…
