Like most James Bond fans, we’re very excited to see what Rami Malek’s still very mysterious villain, Safin, will bring to the franchise in No Time to Die. In honor of that upcoming movie, we decided to look back at 007’s unique list of villains and rank them.

The Worst James Bond The Absolute Best James Bond Villains of All Time Ranked and Where to Stream Them

Like most James Bond fans, we’re very excited to see what Rami Malek’s still very mysterious villain, Safin, will bring to the franchise in No Time to Die. In honor of that upcoming movie, we decided to look back at 007’s unique list of villains and rank them.

For this list, rather than rank the villains from worst to best, we specifically looked at villains who were the absolute highlights of the franchise today, starting the list with great antagonists and ending it with absolutely iconic ones.

The Best James Bond Villans

Alec Trevelyan

GoldenEye was a deeply important movie in Bond's history. After audience favor with the super spy soured a bit during Timothy Dalton's run as the character, the film's producers tried to make a more updated, modern movie that still paid homage to the nature of the original 007 movies.

Max Zorin

Like fellow entrants on this list, Francisco Scaramanga, Elliot Carver, Dr. No, Renard, and Elektra King, Max Zorin is a key example of a great villain who unfortunately finds himself in an otherwise underwhelming Bond film.

Elliot Carver

Rosa Klebb

From Russia With Love, the second Bond film in the franchise was surprisingly progressive for its 1963 release. Rosa Klebb, thus far the only female main antagonist Bond has ever faced, seemed a breath of fresh air for a genre dominated by male actors.

Henchperson: Xenia Onatopp

As mentioned above, the Bond franchise, unfortunately, has far too few female villains, and up to 1995's GoldenEye, it had been an incredibly long time since 007 had crossed paths with a formidable female antagonist, the last example being On Her Majesty's Secret Service‘s Irma Bunt in 1969.
