1. Christoph Waltz's Character Will Become Blofeld
Okay, so Christoph Waltz has been confirmed to play the character Oberhauser in Spectre, but there's varying snippets of information that subtly suggest that Waltz could indeed be Blofeld after all. First of all, Waltz is playing an original Fleming character, one that was largely unimportant in the books and mysteriously disappeared never to be seen or heard from again. Aside from the fact that Waltz is far too famous to have such a small role in the film, the plot synopsis for Spectre also raises some interesting possibilities.
A cryptic message from Bonds past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.
Could it be that Oberhauser, being a close friend of Bond and his ski instructor, tutors the young agent in a scene set prior to the events of Spectre's main narrative and subsequently goes missing in that timeline due to mysterious circumstances? This could explain how Bond receives a cryptic message from his past: that is, he learns that his old mentor and surrogate father still lives and has become the head of a secret organisation. It may sound like an extremely far-fetched concept, but the pieces seem to fit rather neatly when they're put together. For there to be a "terrible truth" behind Spectre, there needs to be a personal betrayal for Bond to discover, and how much more personal can it get than discovering one of your only friends is now the head of an evil organisation? What direction do you think Sam Mendes is going to take Spectre in? Are there any other predictions you think are a sure thing? Let us know in the comments below.
