LONDON, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 16: Andrew Garfield attends the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2022 at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park on Novemin London, England. He's giving Daniel Craig's baby blues a run for their money. The best Bond villains are the ones that seem to worm their way into 007's triple-locked psyche, and Keoghan seems like the kind of actor who could easily pull off some brain-slithering. Why not: Well, not to typecast, but wouldn't he just make a spectacular villain? Keoghan is one of the finest little freaks of the silver screen right now (affectionately), and he has a particular brand of haunting insidiousness - lent perfectly to the likes of The Killing of a Sacred Deer and his micro-second as The Joker in Matt Reeves' The Batman - that could make him an excellent foe for whoever bans that 007 crown. We came here for thrills, God damn it! And if there's one thing that Keoghan has proved he can do, it's thrills. Nobody wants a James Bond who hesitates before jumping out of a skyscraper.

He is willing to throw himself into pretty much anything, which is a good starting point for the most decorated super spy in film history. Why: Over the course of his steadily climbing career that's seen him already nab an Oscar nom, Keoghan has proved himself to be a shockingly fearless actor (please refer to the entirety of Saltburn as a recent example).
