A Surprising Name Wants To Be A James Bond Villain

As a seasoned gamer with a keen eye for cinema, I must say the news of Saoirse Ronan’s dream to play a Bond villain has me utterly thrilled! With her remarkable acting chops and the knack she has for delivering captivating performances in indie films, I can only imagine the spectacle she would bring to the silver screen as a Bond antagonist.


As an ardent admirer, I’ve always been drawn to the captivating performances of Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan. In a recent chat, she shared her affection for independent films throughout her journey, but now she yearns for something grand. So, what could that be?

She told The Los Angeles Times (via GamesRadar) that her dream role is something few would have guessed: a Bond villain. “I’ve done a lot of independent film,” she said. “And I love the experience of making an independent film. I love the atmosphere on those sets.”

Speaking as a passionate admirer, regarding her aspirations: She yearns for something grand and spectacular. Moreover, her ultimate acting goal is to embody a formidable villain in a Bond film, and with an enthusiastic grin, she expressed, “That would be amazing!

Each James Bond film features a primary antagonist, with Rami Malek portraying Safin in No Time To Die, Javier Bardem delivering an impressive performance as Silva in Skyfall, and Christoph Waltz embodying Blofeld in Spectre. The question of who will play the next formidable Bond villain is yet to be answered. Recently, Paul Giamatti expressed interest in assuming this role, which would undoubtedly make for an intriguing casting choice. David Dastmalchian has also voiced his desire to step into the villain’s shoes.

The selection of the actor for Bond 26 hasn’t been made public as of now, but it seems likely that the producers will disclose their choice for the new James Bond first before unveiling their decisions about the villain and other characters. According to recent reports, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is considered the top contender to take on the role in the upcoming movie.

In August, Ronan expressed regret over not getting a part in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. She mentioned her desire to produce more big-budget films to sustain her acting career.

She shared with Total Film, “Though I often select critically acclaimed, intense, and thought-provoking films, which I enjoy immensely, there comes a time when I feel, ‘I’ve explored this enough. Perhaps it’s time for a major film project now.’ I hope I’ll get the opportunity to do so.

Ronan has been nominated for four Academy Awards with her films being Atonement, Brooklyn, Lady Bird, and Little Women. This week, her newest movie, The Outrun, will be released for the first time.
