6) Bring Back Mr. Hinx
The Bond franchise has produced many a memorable henchmen over the years and the most recent addition to that prestigious line-up is Mr. Hinx, played by Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Dave Bautista, who worked for Blofeld in Spectre. With his ripped physique squeezed into a smart suit, Hinx was a perfect throwback to the likes of Oddjob from Goldfinger. Unfortunately, after a promising set-up, the character was severely wasted in that movie.
Let’s hope, then, that he pulls a Jaws and returns for Bond 25. Previously, Richard Kiel’s metal-mouthed henchman proved so popular in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me that he immediately returned for 1979’s Moonraker. While Hinx obviously hasn’t made the cultural impact of Jaws, he’s still worthy of making a return appearance due to how weirdly truncated his role in Spectre was.
Just like horror movie villains, James Bond henchmen always seem to have met their match before returning from the dead for one last fight. Unfortunately, Hinx never returned after his train fight with Bond halfway through the movie. Maybe he could square off with 007 again in Bond 25‘s opening sequence then, in order to follow this grand tradition?
