Rami Malek isn’t entirely sure what his character’s final name is in Daniel Craig’s upcoming James Bond film, No Time To Die.
Since being introduced to Daniel Craig’s version of James Bond, the franchise has seen its villains turn from one-dimensional villains to more complex characters. This notably took shape in Daniel Craig’s previous two outings as James Bond in Skyfall and Specter where the motivations of the characters could be described as complicated as opposed to the usual take over the world scheme that Bond villains often employ. This looks like it will continue with Rami Malek’s villain in Daniel Craig’s No Time To Die with the actor describing his character as complex. Rami Malek, however, is not entirely sure what his character’s true name actually is.
Based on what we have seen in the trailer, Rami Malek’s character in Daniel Craig’s No Time To Die is known as Safin, based. Characters in the James Bond franchise have, however, been known for taking on multiple identities in order to confuse the various government agents looking for them. It seems that this might extend to Rami Malek’s character in Daniel Craig’s No Time To Die.
During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rami Malek jokingly said that he isn’t entirely sure what his character’s final name is:
“I don’t even know what my character’s final name is in this movie. No, I’m pretty sure it’s Safin. It is.”
What do you all make of Rami Malek’s comments? Will Safin be his final name in Daniel Craig’s upcoming James Bond film? Are you looking forward to No Time To Die? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
Here is the official synopsis for Daniel Craig’s No Time to Die:
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from a script co-written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, No Time to Die stars Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Lea Seydoux, Rory Kinnear, Jeffrey Wright, Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah.
No Time To Die will be released in theaters on April 8, 2020.
