Ernst Stavro Blofeld is one the all time greatest villains in cinema. He has appeared in seven Bond films, and played by six different actors. To be fair in the first couple movies only his hands were shown. He has been parodied in Austin Powers with Dr. Evil and Inspector Gadget with Dr. Claw, just to name a few. His usually schemes are to kill James Bond, world domination, and to ask for hefty ransoms. The last appearance by the character was in
For Your Eyes Only, and based on hints by the writer and Fiennes I think we have a very good shot at seeing him again.
Now clean-shaven once again, Fiennes refused to say whether his work later this month on the upcoming Bond film “Skyfall” will require any further distract ‘do measures, but when the Playlist asked about rumors whether he’d play famous Bond villain Ernst Stavros Blofeld in the film, Fiennes played coy. “I can’t say anything more,” he said with a grin, having already discussed with The Playlist about how screenwriter John Logan (who wrote “Coriolanus”) was partly responsible for Fiennes appearing in the new ‘Bond’ film because “because he wrote this really interesting part which is really quite fun.”
When we asked him directly if he would be playing Blofeld he laughed once more. “I can’t say anything,” he said, but then did allow this: “I will not be stroking a white pussy!” Is that a straight-up denial or perhaps a coy response to how his character would be different from the antagonist who appeared in the Bond films, “Thunderball,” “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” and “You Only Live Twice”? We’ll leave that up to you to decide.
