DUBAI: Oscar-winner Rami Malek is in talks to star as the main villain in the upcoming James Bond film, which will be Daniel Craig’s fifth outing as 007. Sources told Deadline that actress Lupita Nyong’o was approached to star in the 25th Bond film, but the news site then reported that the deal would not go ahead. However, Variety magazine then reported that Malek is closing his deal to play the villain in the film that Cary Fukunaga is directing. Malek won the Best Actor in a Leading Role Oscar for “Bohemian Rhapsody” last week.
