Sam Mendes is one of the most successful movie directors of recent times and some of his most famous films were the James Bond movies ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Spectre’.
The director has now discussed the future of the franchise and had a surprise pick for the next Bond villain.
“For a great Bond villain? Jose Mourinho,” he said during a Q&A with The Guardian.
“You can’t get better than that can you.”

He was also asked who he’d like to play James Bond in the future, but thinks the franchise has some challenges in that sense.
“I have no idea, they’ve made it so difficult for themselves for two reasons,” he added.
“One is they turned the franchise into something extraordinary with Daniel Craig.
“If you think about the actors that might have been up for the role after Pierce Brosnan, a lot of people would have said ‘No way’.
“They would not have even been considered for the role, not wanted to be considered for the role.
“Now, there’s barely an actor in the world who would turn it down. And that’s because of Daniel and because what’s happened to the franchise since.
“So that’s a great thing. The bad thing is he’s dead. You tell me how they get out of that one.”
