Actor David Dastmalchian wants to play a villain in the James Bond movie franchise.

Dastmalchian has had a strong year with appearances in movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Boogeyman, Oppenheimer, and most recently, The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Having appeared in many franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DC Extended Universe, and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Dastmalchian is hoping to add another franchise to his belt.

“Trust me when I say that I can bring something to an enemy of 007, whether he or she or they be played in a way that no one has ever seen Bond brought to life before, which is of course the way that you guys always do it,” Dastmalchian told /Film. “I think there’s no one to push Bond to the limits of their capabilities the way that I could, and I would love to do it. So there’s my pitch to them. I can’t wait for them to read this. And then I will owe you when or if I ever get that role, I guess 10%.
