Q
Q
Played by Ben Whishaw
James Bond’s gadget man is much younger and smarter in Skyfall and Spectre, on account of Ben Whishaw’s great portrayal. His on-screen chemistry with Craig’s Bond is memorable – from quips about Bond’s resemblance to an old warship, to his mentioning of his cats at home.

M
M
Played by Dame Judi Dench
Dench’s final turn as M is a thrilling one. She has a major role in the movie and is pushed out of service by Gareth Mallory, albeit unwillingly. The villain Silva is an ex-MI6 agent that held a grudge against her for many years, and kills her at the end of the movie.

Equipping Bond a with only a double-barrel shotgun, Kincade assists in booby-trapping the Skyfall grounds to counter Silva’s thugs, and ensures M’s escape through an underground tunnel to safety. Unfortunately, M’s wounds are too great from the battle, and she dies.

 

Girls
Severine
Severine
Played by Berenice Marlohe

Played by Ola Rapace

Villains
Silva
Silva
Played by Javier Bardem
Arguably one of the creepiest James Bond villains, Silva seeks out revenge on his former employer, MI6, and his former boss, M. His erratic and brutal behavior make him somewhat of a terrorist with a vengeance. He is also infamous in the James Bond world as the only villain to kill M.

 

Animals
Komodo Dragon
Komodo Dragon
A gambling chip Bond obtains from Patrice leads to a casino in Macau, where Bond crosses paths with Severine. An odd characteristic (and likely an insurance nightmare) of the casino is its pit of komodo dragons. Bond eventually fights one of Severine’s handlers in the pit, where the handler is bitten and eaten by one of the dragons.
