That would be completely out of left field and highly.implausible if he was Blofeld. And let's face it: if you have Waltz in your cast you don't want to give the big role to Scott, who for all is talent is rather lightweight in comparison.
As soon as Scott walked in the door of M's office you knew very well that he was a villain. The writing was on the wall for this character.
I like the character just not so much Scott in it. I mean he was adequate but nothing outstanding. Thankfully he didn't go the Moriarty road and was restrained overall. I'd agree with @Shardlake that maybe an actor M's age would have fitted better as opposite number. But unlike many here I don't mind that he was obviously villainous from the beginning: we don't require big plot twists and reveals in Bond as much as so many people think and they do get overused.
The defense of SPECTRE gets to ridiculous levels are you really being serious or is this some kind of joke??
Waltz just telephoned his performance in.
I personally would have rather seen Denbigh eased more slowly out as an outright bad guy, it wouldn't need to be too big a twist and the audience could have been on to it before M.
I will soon post my take on SPECTRE, my idea for Denbigh and I'm far from a script writer is a much better than the hamfisted rubbish P&W foisted on us in the finished product.
Not sure you we're paying attention during Spectre, but Denbigh dies at the end. Little hard for him to come back.
It's so obvious he was Blofeld's puppet.
This shot in the trailer took away any mystery that he might or might not be a villain.
They might as well have had scenes early on showing him reporting back to SPECTRE as its so obvious he's a villain from the start and it's not like the fact he's a traitor is even any sort of big reveal, probably because by this time everyone in the audience knows.
Bond: I suppose C is one of your lot?
Blofeld: Yeah.
That's how you write a killer twist.
No, I believe he's just offering his opinion. He's allowed to.
The trailer showed him fighting with M - unless you thought M was going to go to the dark side, you knew it before watching the film.
But Denbigh's villainy was never written as a twist. It was revealed early on and foreshadowed even earlier. In fact like many pointed out it was revealed as early as the trailer. So it's not like it was even meant to be a surprise. That said I agree with you that Andrew Scott plays far too much pantomime villain. I didn't like at all his take on Moriarty.
