Christoph Waltz is apparently signed on for at least two more Bond movies, so says The Mirror newspaper in the UK. The big stipulation that comes with him coming back for more 007 adventure is that Daniel Craig reprises his role as the legendary British spy too, and we all know how he feels about that presently. Waltz played the role of Franz Oberhauser in this year’s SPECTRE, to huge acclaim, though the character was massively underused.
Some spoilers for SPECTRE follow.
The Mirror actually quote another British red-top with the scoop though, the Daily Star.
“Christoph could make a brilliant ongoing man for Bond to battle like in the old days,” a source told the Daily Star.
“But the important clincher of it is that Blofeld can only work with Daniel back in the role to keep continuity.”
Bond producer Michael G. Wilson was quoted in the paper as commenting on whether Craig would return for a fifth outing as 007.
“We think we’ve got him but we don’t have a contract.”
More news as we get it.
