Amidst the fan-casting and theoretical overdrive surrounding the forthcoming torch-bearer of Daniel Craig’s Bond-esque throne, the franchise has more or less forgotten who else makes James Bond a cult classic. But Adrien Brody is not in that camp since his latest Instagram post has left fans guessing and scrambling for shelter. It remains to be seen who has it in them to become the successor of Craig’s legacy, but James Bond is nothing without the baddies who prompt the adrenaline-filled journey of the cinephiles.

Following the Academy’s ovation, Brody is now stirring the pot with an Instagram nugget so enigmatic that one cannot help but wonder if he is the next brutal villain of the new Bond universe. 

Adrien Brody joined Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and Penn Badgley at the Courchevel Altiport for the Moncler Grenoble Fall/Winter 2025 show in the French Alps. Shortly after the clips and snaps filled social media with sneak peeks of the winter wonderland’s couture showcase, The Brutalist

actor shared a selfie with Chastain on Instagram, flaunting high fashion in freezing temperatures. However, what turned many heads was Brody’s #bondvillain hashtag, leaving the audience in a daze if it meant what it hinted.

“🏔️ chilling like a #bondvillain

the Oscar-winner captioned the post. Maybe his all-black ensemble had him feeling like a Bond baddie, or perhaps, he could be dropping early hints about what awaits the future of the James Bond rebooted universe. Although there is a lack of details surrounding his teasers, Brody surely knows how to leave fans guessing amidst the ongoing conversations surrounding Bond’s return.
