Lenny Kravitz is playing villain Bawma in 007 First Light<\/a>, and the latest trailer shows that he can serve Bond bad guys with the best of them. We’ve had a glimpse of the charismatic pirate king before, but this extended look shows just what happens when you upset him. Spoiler, it involves crocodiles. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve met some folks that are\u2026 similar to his character,” Kravitz told IGN<\/a> in January. “I grew up in the Bahamas as well as New York City, and there were guys who had [Bawma\u2019s] vibe and were doing similar things in the islands. He\u2019s an interesting guy. We\u2019re not quite sure how he\u2019s going to turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted more than just a one-sided villain, like we wanted to have some kind of charisma,” added 007 First Light Director Hakan Abrak. “He has more sides to him that could maybe turn out surprising in the story. You\u2019ll need to wait to see that until the game comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n

007 First Light will be released on May 27, 2026, so while you wait check out our first big preview<\/a> from last year.<\/p>\n
