News is starting to leak about the new 007 movie and it appears as though a major past villain will be returning. Official announcements will be released in the coming weeks but in the mean time scroll down (possible spoilers) to see who the villain is that's rmored to return:
It is rumored to be none other than Bond's #1 arch-nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
For those unfamiliar with the charactor, Blofeld was the head of the criminal organization known SPECTRE. He is currently the only villain (excluding Jaws)to be featured in several Bond movies. He was alluded to in From Russia With Love and Thunderball, revealed in You Only Live Twice, returned as the main antagonist in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and was finally defeated in Diamonds Are Forever. He also made a weird cameo in the beginning of For Your Eyes only were he unceramoniously met his demise at long last. That was the last we ever saw of him (due to idiotic legal issues). Until now. Needless to say him and Bond have quite a history. Most noteable is that he is the killer of the only woman Bond ever truly loved, Tracy di Vicenzo. Bond's first and only wife was murdered by Blofeld hours after they were married in OHMSS.
I'm not sure how his return will tie in with the previous movies. If it's a prequel, an untold story that takes place in between the older movies, if he somehow survived or was cloned and their rivalry will pick up were it left off or if it will be reboot of their fued. What is known is that he will be played by Christoph Waltz and will have a less campy and more modern look.
I'm excited to see where this goes.
On a side note, Blofeld was the inspiration behind Austin Powers Dr. Evil

ing fantastic. And this could tie in with the organization running since Casino Royale which could be Spectre. Add in Batista as a henchman, and I am so in.
