Lenny Kravitz is a multifaceted rock star, meaning he is a man of many talents. We all know about his music, but did you know he’s a pretty good actor as well? He had a prominent role in the movie Hunger Games, of course, and has been labeled in Hollywood for a couple of decades. Now add video games to his list of accolades.
Lenny Kravitz has been tapped to be the next Bond villain, but in the video game 007: First Light. The game is the first all-original Bond video game, and Lenny plays the villain Bawma, who is a pirate leader.
Kravitz says, “The Bond franchise has such an incredible legacy in video games, so to step into it with a brand-new character like Bawma is amazing. He’s magnetic and unpredictable, there’s danger in him, but also heart and purpose. He’s not just a man with power; he is a man who has to fight for every inch of it. Bringing that energy into 007’s world felt incredible.”
007: First Light will hit all gaming platforms on March 27th and Kravitz will star opposite Patrick Gibson, who plays James Bond.
Here’s the original announcement trailer.
