Main villains

The main villain (also known as the "main antagonist") is usually the Heavy/Big Bad to the events of any Bond story. From Le Chiffre's encounter with Bond in the original Casino Royale novel in 1953 to Lyutsifer Safin's plan of world domination in the 2021 film, No Time To Die, Bond's foes have been one of the most important reasons for the book and film series' continued popularity.
