You are not serious are you?
I think it is likely he was cast in the Ejiofor role. But as Blofeld? I don't see it. Not only because he'd be too young, but how could Blofeld hide under the guise of a British man?
You really think they would have scruples to make Blofeld British,if it suits them?
But I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to a "business enemy" of Mi6 instead of an actual evil, cunning baddie.
Daniel has the best job in the world. I would rather do what he gets to do than be Bill Gates retired with his Billions in the bank. Money can't buy being Bond. That's the Holy Grail.
He does look relaxed and thats great. He really got a tough time when he first took on the role the pressure was on for him to shut up the haters "oh his hairs blonde, hes too short blah blah blah!. He has nothing to prove now, he deserved to be relaxed and comfortable in Bonds skin now, hisotrically it has always made for a better Bond when the actor finally forgets his critics and knows he can deliver. Connery and Brosnan were the same. I believe Barbara Broccoli when she says that they want to make this the best Bond movie ever and I believe this team will deliver.
LETS HAVE IT! this will be the longest year ever!.
May I ask how his nationality would make a difference in hiding his identity?
- High Time to Kill was Bond's introduction to the Union, as an evil organisation. (Bond 24 is introducing Spectre for the first time in the rebooted timeline).
- High Time to Kill had a "finale" set in icy mountains (which Bond 24 is probably going to do.
- The villain, Roland Marquis, was from Bond's past and an archenemy (Waltz, who maybe the villain, is said to be Oberhauser, a character from Bond's past).
- High Time to Kill ended with the reveal of a mole in Mi6, who ended up being Bond's then-girlfriend Helena Marksbury (Some people think Denbeigh will end up being a mole)
- Besides the mole there are two other Bond girls in High Time to Kill, Gina Hollander and Hope Kendall (Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci)
He'd have to pass as a British guy and have been hiding well enough to become a MI5 member. Not impossible, but not exactly his background. Unless they decide
MI5 member? I never saw him in a mole position.
Too much effort just to kill Bond. Someone operating that close would have an easier time poisoning his morning scotch.
I really think Denbeigh is under Guy Haynes's control. "The PM's right hand mad" and member of Qauntum we found this out in QOS when Bond shows Mathis the photographs.
If there is any misdirection going on, it would be in the role of Andrew Scott. But I am not buying that he is Blofeld either...quite possible, dare I say...that he will take over as "James Bond" for Bond 25 and beyond. That it is here that the name will be "code" for 007. I am not convinced Craig will return after SP.
No, I am going with the more obvious: Waltz is indeed Blofeld, because he's a big enough name/presence to work across two films--or more.
Waltz is probably Blofeld. Don't emasculate Bond. Have him end the film kissing Lea on a boat.
All in all aside from the title this looks really promising.

How about aligning the content of this thread at least to a minimal degree with its title?
I agree that the biggest question mark at the moment should be placed on Scott's character but I too believe that ultimately Waltz will be revealed as Blofeld. If you look at the interviews with Mendes and Waltz they are not flat-out denying Blofeld's presence, they're deliberately being coy but it all seems to be done with a big wink and a knowing smirk. It's pretty obvious from the press conference that Waltz is Blofeld.
Anyway....why does everyone think that Blofeld will be in Bond 24 and 25. Listen carefully to Mendes here:
http://news.sky.com/story/1385592/bond-is-back-details-of-new-film-revealed
He seems to suggest that 'SPECTRE' will be the end of his tenure directing Bond. He states that the film 'finishes' the story he started. This seems to suggest that while 'SPECTRE' will introduce Blofeld it will be his only appearance. Also remember that Logan pitched an idea that was supposed to tie Bond 24 and 25 together, however, once Mendes got involved he changed the idea so it could be one film.
EON made a seamless transition from Dench to Fiennes. They may be trying to find a new way to start introducing their new Bonds. A lot of fans can't get their heads around the reboot. Instead of finding a new actor to keep playing an aging Bond, it's time for EON to find a new way to explain a new Bond, every few films. He's going to start being "replaced." James Bond may be DC's name, but it's a name that will start being code after this. Maybe?
Remember in CR..."I thought M was a randomly assigned letter." Is it time for "James Bond" to also be an assigned name for 007, to hep EON present new actors to the role?
It's possible. It's also possible that Scott is that man starting with 25 or 26.
Don't dismiss the idea so quickly.
I wonder if Spectre like The Spangled mob will be one and done and Quantum wil be stil an ongoing threat for bond after Spectre...
That would make a few people here rather angry I would assume.
Seriously, who ever will come after DC, its not gonna be this chap.
In all honesty? I think the Bond franchise is going through a 2nd Golden Age ( http://screencrush.com/spectre-bond-and-blofeld-a-brief-history-of-007s-greatest-adversary) Financially and creatively. I don't want Danny Craig to leave. I want him to do three more. Don't care about his age, if he continues going to the gym like a junkie. Something Sir Roger Moore and Sir Sean Connery never did.
In any event, there is going to have to be a time when DC is replaced. I do think it's possible that that replacement will come within the film (24 or 25) in M's replacement was revealed.
Agreed I loved Royale Solace (which i feel will like From Russia with love and OHMSS eventually get classic standing it deserves) Skyfall has actually moved up in ranks upon recently rewatching it. And Spectre is looking to be just as good
