Rami is set to play the villain Lyutsifer Safin in the upcoming Bond flick, complete with facial scars and an unsettling white mask.

The outing comes after casting director Debbie McWilliams revealed it was difficult to get the Bohemian Rhapsody star for the movie.

She added they were, 'invited afterwards for a drink so I marched up to him and said, "Have you had any call from your agent about a James Bond film?"'
