Javier Bardem confirms villain role in Bond 23
"I am very excited, my parents took me to watch the movies, and I saw all of them, and to play that is going to be fun. They chose me to play this man, but I cannot give you many details."
We reported in February that Ralph Fiennes was also up for a different villain role. Sam Mendes is directing Bond 23 from a script by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Peter Morgan.
It isn't known when production will start on Bond 23. You can take a look at the full video below featuring Javier Bardem on ABC News Nightline, which primarily focuses on the actor trying to raise awareness for African refugee camps.
Skyfall comes to theaters November 9th, 2012 and stars Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Craig, Helen McCrory, Javier Bardem, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Bérénice Marlohe, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris. The film is directed by Sam Mendes.

So we've got Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Rhys Ifans, Naomie Harris, and Simon Russel Beale all joining the cast. Sounds like they want to make big bucks to compensate for their financial difficulties.

A great actor, but until I know the plot and character he plays, I'm going to hold off on making a definitive opinion.
