Wanted to make Safin unsettling: Rami Malek on James Bond villain

Malek plays the villain opposite Daniel Craig's suave British spy in the much-anticipated film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Oscar winner Rami Malek says as the antagonist of the upcoming James Bond movie "No Time to Die", he wanted his character of Safin to be "unsettling".

Malek plays the villain opposite Daniel Craig's suave British spy in the much-anticipated film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. A video teasing the mysterious villain was released by the makers on Monday.

"What I really wanted from Safin was to make him unsettling. Thinking of himself as being heroic... Safin is a formidable adversary. James Bond has to adapt to him," Malek told Entertainment Weekly.

Talking about the character Fukunaga said, "What he wants and what he's willing to do makes him a very frightening character, both personally to Bond, but also on a global level." "Fleabag" creator-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is on board as a co-writer on the film and Malek said she had a significant role in shaping up Safin.

"She had quite an impact on what I was doing. I'd have long phone conversations with her, giving her context as to what we were essentially looking for in the scenes, and she would turn things over incredibly quickly.

"We know her as a very witty and funny writer, but she's got a knack for drama and tension as well," he said. "No Time to Die", scheduled to hit the theatres in November, also features actors Lashana Lynch, Lea Seydoux, Jeffrey Wright, Rory Kinnear, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Ana de Armas, Billy Magnussen, Dali Benssalah, and David Dencik.

Explained: Can US President Donald Trump pardon himself?

With Donald Trump’s presidency entering its final weeks, the former businessman and television personality is expected to make full use of the outgoing presidential tradition of granting pardons. Some fear that the US President will wield his expansive power to pardon some of his closest aides, family members and maybe even himself. Trump — who faces a host of legal challenges, including multiple lawsuits and fraud allegations — will no longer have the extensive legal protections of the presidency once he formally exits the White House on January 20. Possibly pre-empting these legal issues, Trump has been asking aides whether he can self-pardon since 2017, according to a CNN report. In fact, an official told the news network that Trump was “obsessed with the power of pardons”. How does the presidential pardon work? All modern presidents of the United States have the constitutional right to pardon or commute the s...
