10 Ways That Bond 25 Can Improve On SPECTRE
10. Bring Back Blofeld
Christoph Waltz as a Bond villain is one of those rare cases where dream fan-casting was on point. However, generally people were disappointed by his turn as the franchise's most iconic villain. After all, this was the man behind one of the cinemas most despicable and entertaining bad guys as Hans Landa.
Little of that pageantry and scenery-chewing was on show in SPECTRE, but with Waltz saying he would happily return to the role if Craig did the same, Bond 25 is our chance to see the real Blofeld let rip and make 007's life a living hell.
The hard work of reintroducing Blofeld and trying to keep his identity a secret is out the way. Even more obsessed with revenge, we may see a less calm and collected Blofeld. Instead, it is possible that by bringing him back and justifying a more colourful turn, we get to see the full potential of Waltz in the role without the hard work of setting up who he is and his relationship with Bond.
There were flashes of the Waltz we were expecting in SPECTRE, and the evil organization is far from dead. Break Blofeld out of prison and let him dominate the screen whilst Bond tries to keep up... it already worked incredibly well with Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva in Skyfall.
If Waltz can have more fun without the need to be weighed down by sibling rivalry and tying together previous films, it's pretty likely the audience will have just as much fun. To forget about Blofeld would be a bigger mistake than paying off his introduction in SPECTRE.
