The name’s Blofeld, Ernst Blofeld…sort of. In one of the most shocking twists in the entire 60+-year James Bond franchise, it was revealed in 2015’s Spectre that Ernst Stavro Blofeld–one of the most frequent James Bond antagonists in the franchise’s canon–is actually 007’s adopted stepbrother. It was a twist that irked fans, who felt the reveal was silly and served no real purpose. Now, Christoph Waltz, who played Blofeld twice, is defending it, saying it was indeed a bingo.
In a recent interview, Christoph Waltz said the unveiling of Franz Oberhauser as Ernst Blofeld, worked much better than people give it credit for. “I think from a dramatic point of view, or a point of view of drama, it’s a fabulous turn. A fabulous conflict, a fabulous connection, and very useful for the stories. That’s how I felt about it…It heightens the conflict.
