Christoph Waltz has confirm he wo n’t be returning forBond 25 , leaving questions over Blofeld ’s part in Daniel Craig ’s final 007 film . James Bond has dozens of memorable baddie , but none are quite as iconic as Ernst Stavro Blofled . The drumhead of SPECTRE , he was first teased in 1963’sFrom Russia with Loveand went on to endanger Sean Connery ’s Bond across his time in the role ( as well as George Lazenby in his single outing ) , but after a brief joke at the orifice of Roger Moore’sFor Your Eyes Onlywas put on chicken feed ( mainly due to a difference of opinion over case right ) .
He returned under a shroud of concealment inSpectre;throughout the marketing Christoph Waltz ’s baddie was recognise only as Oberhauser , but in the most obvious and narratively - defunct twist sinceStarTrek Into Darknesshe revealed himself as Blofeld . The real shocker , though , was that this version of the part was Bond ’s adoptive brother , usher in a sibling contention to the couple . At the end of the flick , Blofeld was captured by MI6 , presumably leaving the doorway open for a regaining in the next installment . Now , however , that ’s not so exculpated .
While speaking toTalky Movie , Waltz was asked about his potential return and answer that , in no uncertain full term , he would n’t be returning :
" No , I ’m sorry . I ’m really sad , but that ’s the tradition , that there is a new … name . Sorry . I would ’ve liked to . "
The fashion Waltz talk make up it voice like the conclusion was more the studio ’s than his , with genuine regret he wo n’t be back . As a justification , he references the accidental tradition of a Modern actor act either a Bond villain or the character of Blofeld in each film . That is admittedly the sort of fan - focused notion Eon would judge and keep up , although the backlash against the pal twist and general view ofSpectreas a failure may have influenced one or both party to both ways - it was at one point expected forBonds 24and25to be a two - parter . Of course , it is possible this is all a fake - out in advance of a surprise riposte , but consider a standardised thaumaturgy did n’t turn on the last film that would n’t be wise .
Now move forwards with Waltz , Bond 25is presently go under fora November 2019 loss . After almost two years of back - and - forward , Craig is finally back , as are retentive - term Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade , although no director has been confirm yet . Story rumorshad antecedently suggested Blofeld would play a part , albeit in a supporting capacity , but it is possible the design transfer . irrespective , with the film expected to shoot next year , if there is a recast Blofeld we ’re sure to listen about it shortly .
