Adrien Brody, 51, recently walked away with the Best Actor award at the 2025 Academy Awards.
He won widespread acclaim for his role as Holocaust survivor László Tóth in Brady Corbet’s epic independant production, The Brutalist.
At the ceremony, he amused movie fans when he was seen to throw chewing gum to his partner.
He was seen to take the sweet from his mouth and pass it to Georgina Chapman, as he made his way onto the stage to collect the award.
But his next project could see him play a Bond villain, if his latest Instagram post is anything to go by.
The Hollywood leading man took to his grid page as he attended the Moncler fashion show in the exclusive skiing hotspot of Courchevel in France.
He posted a snap where he posed with fellow Oscar-winner, Jessica Chastain, 47, as he donned huge skiing goggles.
The caption read: “Chilling like a #bondvillain with @jessicachastain and our friends @moncler in #courchevel #MonclerGrenoble.”
A number of fans flocked to the comments section of his latest post to express their desire to see the Wes Anderson film actor take up the mantle of playing a villain in the Bond franchise.
One fan stated: “You’d be great as a Bond villain. Or as Bond himself, of course.”
A second action film enthusiast stated: “Bro I could see you doing a Bond villain!”
“You should totally be cast in the next bond movie,” wrote a third user.
As a fourth remarked: “Would love to see Adrien playing a Bond villain!,” along with a face with love hearts emoji.
And a fifth fan simply posted a GIF of a scene of Sean Connery driving the iconic Aston Martin sports car.
