Meet Rami Malek as Safin from No Time to Die

No Time to Die makers released a new video featuring Rami Malek as the antagonist Safin. It gives a glimpse of his potential to stand against James Bond. The character thrives on revenge and also plots to kill millions of people with his ideology of making the world a better place.

Rami Malik talks about how he wanted to depict the character. He says, “What I really wanted from Safin was to make him unsettling, thinking of himself as being heroic.” Director Cary Joji Fukunaga sheds some light on why Safin is a frightening character. “What he wants and what he is willing to do makes him a very frightening character. Both personally to Bond but also on a global level,” the filmmaker asserted. Malik adds, “Safin is a formidable adversary. James Bond has to adapt to that.” A face-off between the baddie and Daniel Craig’s agent 007 is seen. Check out the video below.
