The Theory

The name €œSciarra€ comes from Palermo, Sicily and refers to a volcanic area. This could simply be a coincidence or it could directly refer to SPECTRE€™s previous base in the heart of a volcano. Extrapolating on this, despite ostensibly being the widow to a dead criminal, Monica Bellucci€™s Lucia Sciarra is in fact the head of SPECTRE.

Why It Could Work

Frankly, it just seems too damn obvious that Waltz is playing Blofeld. Surely the studio doesn't want a John Harrison/Khan scenario playing out, so what if it€™s all misdirection?

When asked if his character was the head of SPECTRE, Waltz himself said €œIt€™s more interesting than that.€ The idea of using his character as a giant red herring would certainly live up to that statement, and take nearly everyone by storm.

The reinvention of the classic villain as a female could give a reason for why they€™ve revived the character. It would explain how Bellucci joined the film as the oldest Bond girl ever, since she practically exudes femme fatale and could easily play a commanding villain. It€™s not like the series hasn€™t had a woman secretly be in charge before, look no further than Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough to know that this theory could work.
