SPECTRE and Blofeld could return in Bond 24, new pic from Fast and Furious 7 and update on Deadpool

Click here to find the new still of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the new action sequel Fast and Furious 7. He plays hero Lucas Hobbs in the new instalment which sees the team seeking revenge on the murderous Ian Shaw. Joining The Rock, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Walker and Lucas Black is Jason Statham who’ll act as the franchise rebooter, as the Rock did in 2011. James Wan, The Conjuring, Saw, will be taking over directing duties from series regular Justin Lin.

The on-and-off story of a solo film for superpowered mutant Wade Wilson, or Deadpool, has now taken a new twist. The two pioneers in the production of the X-Men prequel are star Ryan Reynolds and potential director Tim Miller. “We will never give up!” Miller raved to Clever Movies. “Deadpool is still alive and we’re just waiting for the studio to embrace what an amazingly awesome film this would be. Ryan is ready, I am ready, the fans are more than ready, we just need that elusive green light!” Meanwhile, Reynolds told Yahoo that “Within the last couple of weeks we’ve taken a few very, very small tiptoes forward.”

There’s been the elusive Silva (Skyfall), the iconic Jaws (Moonraker) and the unforgettably powerful performance by Mads Mikkelson as Le Chiffre (Casino Royal). Despite these, and many more, excellent Bond villains (Dr No and Goldfinger were title characters) the most influential and best known is Ernst Stavro Blofeld. He had small appearances as SPECTRE’s mysterious string puller in From Russia With Love and Thunderball before he stepped into centre stage in You Only Live Twice. That was followed by roles in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever and For Your Eyes Only. Besides Bond parodies, we haven’t seen Blofeld on the big screen for thirty years so a return is overdue.

Now into the story walks the incoming sequel to James Bond/Sam Mendes’/Daniel Craig’s $1 billion smash hit Skyfall. Craig, Mendes, Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes are expected to return but Blofeld and/or SPECTRE could be joining them. They’ve rolled M and Moneypenny into place so Blofeld seems like the next logical step for the yet untitled Bond 24. They could of coarse plot an epic storyline spanning over Bonds 24 and 25, both of which we can confirm to be in production. This rumour comes out of the fact that MGM just acquired several rights, including SPECTRE, from games company Danjaq.

So far, the current casting favourites are Bryan Cranston, Kevin Spacey and Mark Strong but that’s the same list everyone drew up for Lex Luther in Batman/Superman and a Star Trek Next Generation reboot. Mendes needs to find someone who we wouldn’t think of first just because their bold. He needs a great Blofeld, even if they don’t look the job.

Bond 24 – October 23rd 2015

Bond 25 – 2017?

Fast and Furious 7 – July 25th 2014

Deadpool – 2016?
