It seems like Agent 007 will fight a well-mannered, polite monster.
Dave "Batista" Bautista recently talked to Daily Star UK to discuss his character named Mr. Hinx in the next James Bond film, "Spectre." According to the actor, Mr. Hinx is possibly the most dangerous Bond villain so far.
"On the surface Mr Hinx isn't a monster. He is very well-dressed. He is very charming. And he never forgets his manners. For me that is what makes him so terrifying," the WWE wrestler-turned-actor said.
Batista described his character as someone who has no qualms about opening doors for other people, but will have no problem killing people at the same time. Mr. Hinx is reportedly working for Christoph Waltz's Oberhauser, Bond's ruthless villain in the film. He will be tasked to abduct the new Bond girl named Madeleine Swann, portrayed by actress Léa Seydoux.
Daniel Craig returns to star in the 24<sup>th installment in the "James Bond" movie franchise. This marks Craig's fourth portrayal of the iconic role based on Ian Fleming's best-selling novels. "Spectre's" director Sam Mendes confessed to The Telegraph UK that he initially thought that casting the 47-year-old actor was a bad idea.
"Because for me at the time I thought Bond had become the opposite of what Daniel is - a slightly disengaged, urbane jokey eyebrow raising, you know, a pastiche in a way and I feel Daniel's reality, passion and sort of honesty as an actor would not work," the filmmaker explained.
However, he eventually saw how the actor adapted well to the franchise, and it encouraged him to agree to helm the previous Bond film "Skyfall" back in 2012.
Aside from Craig, several "Skyfall" actors will also reprise their roles in "Spectre," including Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny. Rory Kinnear will also continue portraying the role of Bill Tanner in the "James Bond" series.
"Spectre" is scheduled for release on Oct. 26.
