Willem Dafoe
Villain Henchman
for Villain Henchman in Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 (Reboot/Bond 26)
Suggested by albertocarles
A stand-alone movie that is meant to be a complete continuity reset for a new era of James Bond movies. It will not be connected to any previous movies. A hard reboot. The adventures of James Bond have already begun and he will already have his 00-license and have experience as MI6's top agent. Future movies will be either re-imaginings of older movies under a new titles in a modern setting or it will be completely new adventures to draw on the Fleming novels and past films or adapt them in a fresh way. There will be more humor this time. Things will not be so serious and dark but there will still be all the violence, sex, romance and political intrigue any 007 fan can ask for. This particular run is meant to be straightforward stand-alone missions for Bond dealing with villains bent on either global Armageddon or world domination, same old dream. Iconic characters will make cameos and/or be heavily involved in the series, which will loosely tie the adventures together. Example: Alec Trevelyan is very close to Bond and may help him heavily here but will be "killed off" in the end only to return as the villain in a later film.
