Christoph Waltz Rumored for Villain Role in 'Bond 24'

Although we still don't know the title, the 24th James Bond film is set to go into production soon, and over the last few weeks we've seen the cast start to come together. Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Lea Seydoux (Blue is the Warmest Color) were the most recent additions as a henchman and "femme fatale" respectively, but they still need a prime bad guy to report, and it appears that role will be filled by Christoph Waltz.

The report comes from Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, who has a pretty good track record on stories like this. While he doesn't specifically state that Waltz will be duking it out with Daniel Craig's 007, villains are what Waltz does best. He recently dropped out of Pirates of the Caribbean 5, with his role there now being occupied by Skyfall's Javier Bardem.

Bond 24 opens November 6th 2015 and will reunite director Sam Mendes with Craig, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, and Ralph Fiennes
