- A new 007 First Light trailer has been released showcasing the game's villain, Bawma
- The trailer includes an extended cinematic sequence showing Bawma's first meeting with Bond
- Bawma is played by actor and musician Lenny Kravitz
IO Interactive has released a new extended trailer for 007 First Light, offering an extended look at the game's villain, Bawma, played by actor and musician Lenny Kravitz.
Bawma was revealed during The Game Awards 2025, but in the extended during IGN Fan Fest, we're treated to a cinematic sequence from the upcoming game with new scenes highlighting his dramatic first encounter with Bond and his MI6 mentor, John Greenway.
It also builds on the character's initial reveal, portraying him as a charismatic and unpredictable leader of a powerful black-market arms network.
In the trailer, we see Bond and Greenway hanging upside down over a pit of alligators while Bawma monologues like a classic Bond villain. He goes on to have his henchman kick another one of his foes into the pit to be eaten by the reptiles.
I just want to know how Bond is going to get out of this one...

According to IOI, Bawma is a powerful adversary for Bond to contend with and "plays a key role in shaping his journey in 007 First Light."
Alongside Patrick Gibson's Bond and Kravitz's Bawma, the game is also expected to feature an ensemble cast, including John Greenway, played by Lennie James, and M, portrayed by Priyanga Burford.
