Christoph Waltz Unsure Of His Bond Future

 

Amid reports of ridiculous contract negotiations and talk of Sam Mendes vacating the director’s chair, Bond 25 is, at least for the time being, very much up in the air. Sony and MGM are clearly keen to set the wheels in motion, but there are still some creative hurdles to overcome, meaning that James Bond isn’t likely to strut onto your local cinema screen for some time yet.

That’s something that Spectre star Christoph Waltz touched upon while chatting with German magazine Zeit-Magazin Mann stating, “right now, nobody even knows which studio will produce the next and if Daniel will return. All of that is filed under ‘carry on’.”

Stepping into the shoes of the infamous Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Waltz then went on to discuss his villainous turn in Spectre, which left him somewhat frustrated: “I cannot claim that I’ve really nailed Blofeld. Overall, it held water and was okay. But it wasn’t what I’ve been looking for. I was searching for more inspiration.”

Though it failed to live up to its predecessor Skyfall, Spectre still brought in close to $850 million at the international box office, ensuring that, for all intents and purposes, Bond 25 is inevitable.
