Mikkelsen said his favorite Bond villain is Christopher Walken's dastardly Max Zorin in 1985's "A View to a Kill," and he can't believe he is now part of the same lineage.

Desmond Llewelyn's cantankerous tinkerer Q had been a staple of the Bond films since "From Russia with Love" (1963), and he was one of the few actors with the distinction of appearing in all of the various Bond eras.
Pierce Brosnan's leaner, meaner version of Bond was a nice throwback to the earlier entries after the disappointing tenures of Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton, and his debut as 007 signaled a revival of interest in the series.
Bond has fought his share of goons, but none of them have been as tenacious as Richard Kiel's Jaws, a giant with a set of steel choppers and a work ethic that would put the Terminator to shame.

There is some variety in the twenty film franchise, such as the particular make of the gadgeted car Bond drives, or the location in which he seduces women and thwarts villains with consummate poise, but it is a franchise built on durable customs.
Bond is a man of remarkable success, sophistication, and wit, equipped with limitless fortune and little fear.
In all, and despite the villains, women, gadgets, and other ephemera that punctuate the films, the traits of the James Bond franchise are no better encapsulated than in the titillating opening credits of most any film in the series.

 "Bond’s Semitic Villains - Forward.com"
The actor is no stranger to the spy world; he played a Mossad agent in Steven Spielberg’s “Munich.” The notion of a Jew with a license to kill, however, most likely would have aroused little enthusiasm in either Bond or his maker, Ian Fleming.
Most of the 13 original Bond books made a point of disparaging Jews, a feature that was purged from the film versions.
Like all Fleming villains, he is a racial hybrid, “a mixture of Mediterranean with Prussian or Polish strains,” and has “large lobes, indicating some Jewish blood.” Goldfinger, possibly Fleming’s most famous villain, is only suspected of having Jewish ancestry, but his fierce obsession with gold pretty much erases any doubt.
