'James Bond 24' Movie Iconic Henchman Hunt! Could 'Game Of Thrones' Star 'The Mountain' Be The Perfect Actor For The Role?

It has been reported that there's a hunt for an iconic henchman for "James Bond" 24 movie.

And while the script is still in works, James Bond Radio reported that the casting crew is looking for an iconic henchman in the likes of Oddjob and Jaws.

MI6 confirmed the reports claiming that the casting has already begun and that the team is actively in the hunt for "someone extremely physically fit and over 6' 2"."

The assassin will supposedly have "several altercations with Daniel Craig's 007 throughout the film."

"Former sports athletes will be under consideration along with anyone 'very unusual'," the report added.

Since no actor is being confirmed for the role yet, "Game of Thrones" star, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, famously known to play the deadly villain "The Mountain" and has been recently nominated in the Oscars is now being rumored to perfectly fit for the role according to Enstarz.

He has the wrestler-like physique and definitely the attitude to become the new "James Bond 24" iconic henchman and with all the attention that he was able to get from playing "The Mountain" in HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones" casting him will most likely be a hit.

It's no secret that one of the most sought after character in a movie is becoming a James Bond bad guy. The movie franchise is known to have produced award-winning actors following the villain role in the film.

Thus, this will be a perfect opportunity for Björnsson to step up and try his career in the big screen.

James Bond 24 movie is slated for release on November 26, 2015.
