14 DAY TRIAL // Daniel Craig is about to be dominated on screen in his upcoming James Bond movie by a yet unnamed henchman, something in the lines of the classic figures Oddjob or Jaws, that were made famous decades ago in previous films of the franchise.
MI6, a James Bond fansite claims that the next movie is going to feature a big henchman and that he is going to get close and personal with James Bond, played by Daniel Craig. The producers have already begun looking for a suitable actor, and their search have included former sports athletes known for their massive bulk.
“Casting has begun for the main assassin, with the search specifically focused on someone extremely physically fit and over 6′ 2,” claims the website and explains the decision “Whoever wins the role will have several altercations with Daniel Craig’s 007 throughout the film and also a driving sequence.”
Apart from athletes, the casting team is said to be also looking for someone with “very unusual” features, which is precisely what the henchmen in the '70s looked like. The main idea is to have this new character become as iconic as Jaws, the most popular henchmen of all time, followed closely by another James Bond character, Oddjob.
