The filmmakers behind JAMES BOND 24 are reportedly looking for 007 to face off against a giant powerhouse of a henchman with brutal strength, power and presence to rival that of Oddjob and Jaws.
According to reports, it sounds as though spy hero James Bond, will have his hands full in the next movie of the franchise. Â The creators are looking for an imposing baddie for JAMES BOND 24, as casting has begun to find the sequel’s new deadly, formidable assassin.
“Casting has begun for the main assassin, with the search specifically focussed on someone extremely physically fit and over 6′ 2″. Â Whoever wins the role will have several altercations with Daniel Craig’s 007 throughout the film and also a driving sequence. Â Former sports athletes will be under consideration along with anyone ‘very unusual’. The character has the working name of ‘Hinx’ (which may change before shooting starts) and is said to be between 30 and 45 years old.”
It all sounds very intriguing! The ‘several altercations’ admission is certainly teasing us about the prospect of a more grittier dual with an assassin.  In recent films Bond hasn’t come across an iconic henchman who has challenged him and become a physical threat.  Â
Oddjob (Harold Sakata) was Goldfinger’s mute, Korean manservant who could brawl one-on-one with Bond, but was just as deadly with his decapitating steel-rimmed bowler hat.
As played by 7’2″ actor Richard Kiel in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, Jaws was a strong man and assassin with a mouthful of metal teeth that could chew through steel cable.
Both Oddjob and Jaws have remained iconic assassins and the villains have appeared in the video game 007 LEGENDS.
BOND 24 starts filming this December under the direction of SKYFALL’s Sam Mendes. Â
It will be released on October 23rd, 2015, in the UK and November 6th, 2015, in the U.S.
