i was just thinking the same thing actually... by doing so, you've already established history between he and Bond from both CR and QOS - no need to go through and concoct a new backstory.. and Mr. White always sounded like a dubious name to begin with.... but that wouldn't just be a curveball, it would be a knuckleball! lol - no one would see that coming, as everyone suspects that Waltz would be ESB.
I'm betting it's a bait and switch, and that either Blofeld will not be revealed in SPECTRE, or he will be played by someone not mentioned in the cast list today. I bet it won't be Waltz. Let's revisit one year from now. Waltz's part will be juicy though, but in another way - in the sense that it will stretch him as an actor. Given he's already a two time Oscar winner, I sense that it will be a conflicted role to stretch his acting range, as he has not done that yet.
My thoughts exactly! It really is great news! :-bd
Though has it been confirmed other than Wikipedia? I'm not saying I don't believe this news. But can't anyone edit the wiki pages?
Has anyone noticed that the Craig films are following a similar style to the first Connery films.
DN, FRWL, both contain Spectre operatives. GF is a stand alone film with a lone villain out for his own greed. TB is back to fighting Spectre.
CR and QOS Bond is up against Quantum, SF is a stand alone film with a lone villain out for revenge. SP is Bond fighting Spectre once more, but possibly Quantum as well.
Actor Jesper Christensen confirmed it himself to a Danish newspaper, so yeah… its pretty watertight!

Just like I don't hold to much merit in the score on Rotten Tomatoes as being an indication of a film being good or bad. ;)
I like Mr.White and look forward to see what he's been upto and who he might be.
I agree. Did not seem a great movie the first time I saw it, but there is actually more story than one might think. If the new movie confirms this, than QoS is probably an in-between movie between CR and SPECTRE and therefore deserves a little more credit.
I've always liked QoS, but I think it and the entire Craig era would really benefit from a little tying of up loose ends. It doesn't need to be a lot - just something that links Quantum to Spectre and a nasty end for Mr. White. I doubt he'll be Blofeld, but who knows. He is a great character. Reminds me of Prof. Dent from Dr. No. More of a weasly minion than an actual mastermind.
Mr White as Blofeld? That would strike me as odd. I'm more inclined to agree with @Getafix that he's better suited as a Prof. Dent kind of guy.
This here ^^ . White is just not a strong enough character to be Blofeld. Waltz as Blofeld would be a far better fit.
Which was an old Hitchcock invented trick when he killed his star Janet Leigh in Psycho in the first 10 minutes. The audience at the time were like "What the deuce". But you are right and it has been done again and again.
I want Bond going after White, only to be captured and taken to meet Mr Whites Employer. The back of the chair is turned to Bond "Mr Bond, I have heard so much about you, you have cost me and my organisation a considerable amount of money. Chair turns "For which you will now pay with your life". Bond "Who the hell are you? and what hell are you people". Blofeld "Laughs, turn to Mr White "you were right they really don't have a clue".
There's no way Mr. White is going to be Blofeld. First of all they'd probably want to cast a bigger name to play Bond's arch nemesis. Secondly I couldn't imagine Blofeld going off and personally killing Le Cheffre and his thugs. Blofeld wouldn't get his hands dirty like that or take that kind of risk.
+1
Agreed. It also bring a sense of continuity which we did not have since the early Sean Connery movies.
And of course they will try and surprise us in some manner. They know we are all speculating like crazy… It would actually have been funny (although disappointing...) if Spectre the title had nothing to do with SPECTRE the organization. :) That would have been a cold shower for most fans, and a big 'f*** you' to all the speculators out there! :)) And although its naturally not gonna happen I guess they will be tempted to as the forecasted media "plot scoops" and rumors pop up before release...
It would be an epic joke... which they thankfully won't do... #:-S
We find out Le Cheiff and Green was SECTRE and Mr White was simply rescuing Bond, because of his mother.
Then again it would be good if Walt's was Franz and it turned out his father was SPECTRE and Blofeld is revealed and the trick is EON till the reveal in the film kept the actor who plays Blofeld secret till then.
It that is so then what a surprise ;-)
Sorry to sound cocky but I actually suggested this weeks ago and it quickly got shot down. Mr White just to me sounds to me like an alias plus the white cat connection could be linked. I also proposed the title " Spectre" so I feel quite happy. Id love to think that EON monitor the site for suggestions but I guess I'll never know!
