Kenneth Branagh says portraying the role of a James Bond villain would be a “delicious” opportunity. The 57-year-old actor, who was last seen playing detective Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express, said the antagonists to the latest 007, Danile Craig, have been “almost Shakespearean”, The Mirror reported.
“I think as an actor that is always delicious to play... I am a connoisseur of those Bond villains. But is a hard one to do. I loved Javier Bardem in Skyfall.”
The actor-director added keeping up with the changing tastes of the masses was tough and the Bond franchise has managed to keep them on their toes.
“That franchise has been great at responding to the way that audiences want to receive the material. That is not trying to be a cartoon - they want to have as much complication as possible,” he said.
