Since before his casting in the latest James Bond movie SPECTRE, actor Christoph Waltz has been rumoured to be playing the classic Bond villain Blofeld.
However, during the official casting announcement, it was revealed that Waltz will play the character Oberhauser who was Bond’s mentor in the Ian Fleming novels. Still, fans are still not buying this and believe this is all misdirection from the fact Waltz will play Blofeld.
In an interview with Collider whilst promoting his latest movie Big Eyes, Waltz was asked if he was playing the head of SPECTRE in the latest Bond film, to which he responded: “No. No. It’s more interesting than that.”
Check out his reaction to the question below…
