What is the name of the villain played by Jonathan Pryce in Tomorrow Never Dies?

Jonathan Pryce plays media tycoon Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Released in 1997, Tomorrow Never Dies follows James Bond as he investigates a manufactured international crisis. Carver owns a powerful global media empire and wants exclusive broadcasting rights in China. To create the crisis, he uses manipulated information, covert operations and a stealth ship to provoke conflict between Britain and China.

The character reflects concerns about sensationalist news, media concentration and the ability of powerful broadcasters to shape public perception. Pryce’s performance presents Carver as both a polished businessman and an authoritarian schemer. His plot depends on turning information into a weapon rather than relying only on conventional military force.

Elliot Carver is often confused with other Bond villains from the Pierce Brosnan era. Alec Trevelyan is the antagonist of GoldenEye, while Gustav Graves appears in Die Another Day. Elektra King is the principal antagonist associated with The World Is Not Enough.
