Lenny Kravitz Cast as Villain in Upcoming James Bond First Light Video Game

Rock star Lenny Kravitz has joined the world of James Bond. He will voice a major villain in the new video game, “James Bond: First Light.” The game is available for pre-order now.

This marks a new acting venture for the musician. The game features a younger version of the iconic spy.

Kravitz to Play Charismatic Crime Lord Bawma

Kravitz announced his role during The Game Awards. His character is named Bawma. According to Kravitz, Bawma is the largest black-market dealer in the Western Hemisphere.

He described the character as both charismatic and unpredictable. Bawma built his own empire called the Kingdom of Aleph from nothing.

This is not Kravitz’s first acting role. He has appeared in major films like “The Hunger Games” and “Precious.” His involvement adds significant star power to the project.

New Actor Finds Playing James Bond “Surreal”

Patrick Gibson voices the young James Bond in the game. Gibson is known for his role in “Dexter: Original Sin.” He admitted seeing himself as 007 was a strange experience.

He was taken aback by the character’s likeness to him. The actor wasn’t fully expecting it to look so similar.

This casting ends rumors about the next film Bond. Speculation had linked Tom Holland to a younger 007. The game and film paths now appear separate.

The next Bond film is being developed separately. It will have a darker tone under writer Steven Knight.

The “James Bond: First Light” game introduces a fresh chapter with notable talent. Lenny Kravitz’s villain promises to be a memorable foe for the new 007.
