As the iconic James Bond franchise gears up for a new chapter, fans eagerly await the announcement of who will take on the role of the next 007. But it's not just the hero that's causing a stir - the villain is just as important, if not more so. And with a long line of legendary actors like Lotte Lenya, Mads Mikkelsen, and Rami Malek having played the infamous antagonist, the pressure is on for the next villain to make a lasting impression.
Leading the pack of contenders is none other than the talented Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. Known for her powerful performances in films like Little Woman, Lady Bird, and The Outrun, Ronan has proven her range and ability to take on complex characters. So it's no surprise that she has emerged as the top choice among her peers, with a recent poll conducted by Gambling.com giving her a 40% probability of landing the coveted role.
But Ronan may not be the only Irish star in the running. Just last month, fellow actor Colin Farrell was named as the favorite to play the next Bond villain. And now, it seems he may have some competition from an unexpected candidate - a female Irish actress. With the possibility of breaking the mold of a male-dominated villain roster, Ronan's chances have only increased.
And it's not just Ronan who is causing a stir - the poll also revealed a strong possibility of other top actresses taking on the role. Charlize Theron, known for her action-packed performances and willingness to do her own stunts, earned a 33.3% probability. Meanwhile, seasoned pros Meryl Streep and Dame Helen Mirren also received high chances, with 28.5% and 25%, respectively.
But the competition doesn't stop there. Olivia Colman, who has expressed interest in playing Bond's boss M, received a 20% probability. And while she may not be considered for the villain role, her impressive acting chops and potential for a strong female character make her a top contender for another important role in the franchise.
As fans eagerly await the announcement of who will take on the next Bond villain, it's clear that the franchise is open to breaking traditions and bringing in fresh talent. And with a new era in the works, there's no telling what exciting changes and surprises are in store for fans.
Unfortunately, the wait for the next Bond film may be a long one, with a release date not expected until 2027. But in the meantime, fans can rest assured that the producers are carefully considering all options in order to bring us the best possible Bond experience. And who knows, maybe we'll see a new era with a female villain at the helm. Only time will tell.
