Rami Malek revealed that during the initial stage of playing a Bond villain, he was concerned that his performance does not end up looking like a copy of something which has been done before in the franchise. He expressed that if he took up the project and made a carbon copy of someone else's performance, it won't be joyous to him as a performer, or the audience members. He wished to bring a sense of originality to the staple James Bond villain image and tried to experiment with the role. He stated that playing Freddie Mercury has allowed him to bring originality to every character he plays.
