007: First Light’s Villain Reportedly Revealed

007: First Light is expected to introduce a very different version of James Bond than we’ve seen in the movies over the last few years; the game is set to introduce an original story that mostly will be an origin story, and show how the character is trying to receive his first real mission.

The game will appear at upcoming TGA 2015 ceremony, and according to the new leak we might just found our main villain. Official James Bond account on X accidentally spoiled that singer Lenny Kravitz will play a character called Bawna in 007: First Light. Of course, the post has been deleted but some fans were able to save the image with a short description of a character, as you can see below:

"He rose from nothing, broke free, and built his own Kindom of Aleph. Introducing Bawma, the largest black-market dealer in the Western Hemisphere who's as charismatic as he is unpredictable"

This announcement surely should have happened during The Game Awards 2025 and now it’s an almost a guarantee IO Interactive will reveal this on the show. Post on X also included a video where Kravitz’s character, Bawma, strung up James Bond and threatens to drop him into a pit full of crocodiles.
