Lenny Kravitz Steps into Bond Era as Charismatic Villain in Upcoming Video Game
Musicians-turned-actors Lenny Kravitz is bringing his unique charm to the world of espionage with a new role as the villainous Bawma in the upcoming video game 007: First Light. The announcement was made at last night's Game Awards, and Kravitz has wasted no time in sharing his excitement about taking on the character.
The musician-turned-actor described Bawma as "the largest black-market dealer in the Western Hemisphere who's as charismatic as he is unpredictable." He added that this complex character rose from nothing to build his own Kingdom of Aleph, a true embodiment of the mysterious and alluring Bond villain.
Kravitz, known for his iconic roles in films like Hunger Games and The Trainer, will be joining an impressive cast of actors, including Gemma Chan, Priyanka Burford, Kiera Lester, Alastair Mackenzie, Lennie James, and Noemie Nakai. Although the release date for 007: First Light is yet to be confirmed, fans can expect it to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Kravitz has previously proven his acting chops in various roles, but this new character marks an exciting departure from his musical roots. The Bond franchise has a long history of memorable villains, and Kravitz's own magnetic energy will undoubtedly bring a unique spin to Bawma's story.

I mean, who wouldn't wanna play a character as charismatic & unpredictable? 
The fact that he's got musical roots 2 begin with is kinda cool, but I think this new acting gig is gonna be amazin'! Let's c how it goes down 
This is gonna be so cool! I love how Lenny Kravitz is stepping out of his comfort zone as an actor and playing this complex character in the 007 series 
). Overall, this collaboration between Lenny Kravitz and the 007 franchise is shaping up to be a pretty awesome one! 
i'm all about that Lenny Kravitz vibe right now he's gonna be so good as bawma that charismatic villain is just what the game needs 
and having him in a bond game is like, the ultimate casting win 
Can't wait to see him bring this larger-than-life figure to life on screen 
I can already imagine him bringing Bawma to life and shaking things up in the game world. love how the developers are trying to mix it up with a diverse cast too 
the cast for 007: First Light is looking fire too, i'm excited to see how they all come together to create an epic story 
also, is it weird that they're giving him such a complex backstory for bawma? i mean, didn't we just watch the hunger games and remember that guy's whole "i'm gonna kill you" vibe?
