What do Telly Savalas, Christopher Walken, Sean Bean, Yaphet Kotto, Sophie Marceau, Donald Pleasance, and Lenny Kravitz all have in common? They’re all Bond villains\u2014or at least, they will be: A leaked trailer has revealed that Kravitz will be the face, hair, and spectacularly chiselled abs of Bawma, an elusive target<\/del> a criminal mastermind in the upcoming 007 First Light<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kravitz’s role in the game was presumably meant to be revealed at tonight’s Game Awards, but slipped out early in a now-deleted message posted to the official 007 X account\u2014whoops<\/em>: “He rose from nothing, broke free, and built his own Kingdom of Aleph. Introducing Bawma, the largest black-market dealer in the Western Hemisphere who’s as charismatic as he is unpredictable.”<\/p>\n

“I am sometimes asked: ‘Bawma, how is it that you hear every whisper in every corner?'” Kravtiz croons in Bawma’s big reveal, which has also been taken down but remains available for viewing on other, unofficial sites. “And I answer, ‘I have built Aleph with my will, my blood, my whole self. This city is an extension of my being\u2014my body. But today it became infected’.”<\/p>\n

Lenny’s cure, it seems, is to lower the source of the infection into a pit of hungry crocodiles (or maybe alligators, I can’t tell), a classic Bond villain move.<\/p>\n
