As it should already be time to start all Bond 24 rumors and to give it some additional attention, here’s a nice list of James Bond Villains! I have already made the List Of All James bond Movies and List Of All James Bond Actors lists in the past, but now it’s also time to let the villains shine. After this there will even be a detailed list of all Bond girls, Bond Cars and even Bond Weapons.
So, just like the other James Bond lists, these are the villains from only the official movies from the EON Productions franchise.
