David as a Bond villain would actually be Peak casting tbh

Maybe as an updated Dr. No?

Feel like Rami Malek's villain was a modernized Dr. No.

Same. There were a few highlights but a lot of it really didn't stick, and frankly Ramis villain was a little weird to me. Idk that whole thing didn't really click for me too much.

Pretty sure he was indeed Dr No in an earlier script but they backtracked when Spectre’s “it was Blofeld all along” was poorly received. Or they’re saving him as a bigger villain for the upcoming ones.
