Ernst Stavro Blofeld is the main antagonist of the James Bond franchise.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld is a fictional character and villain from the James Bond series of novels and films, created by Ian Fleming. A criminal mastermind with aspirations of world domination, he is the archenemy of the British Secret Service agent James Bond.
As the last foe in the Daniel Craig era of James Bond movies, Malek's Lyutsifer Safin manages to work quite nicely because the writers embrace qualities that make him run counter to your expectations. Such a feat just makes one all the more grateful those rumors that Malek was actually playing Dr.
In the first novel, Casino Royale, and the 2006 film adaptation, the 00 concept is introduced and, in Bond's words, means "that you've had to kill a chap in cold blood in the course of some assignment". Bond's 00 number (007) was awarded to him because he twice killed in fulfilling assignments.
Wiseman is amusingly arrogant as the first Bond villain. He invites 007 to his underground lair on a remote island; he wines and dines him with first class accommodations and a five-star tête-à-tête meal.
Madeleine is the daughter of SPECTRE agent, Mr. White and his wife. In 1998, Lyutsifer Safin came to the White house in Nittedal, Norway to kill Mr. White; who had murdered his entire family on orders from SPECTRE leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
M became James Bond's superior in the mid-1990s. She was quick to put Bond in his place and assert her authority, explaining to him that she would utilise the 00-section where required, despite not always condoning their methods.
From masterminds to henchmen, the final word on 007's furious foes.
Of course, Bond is a sexual predator in many of the films – and Ian Fleming's books with a reference to the “sweet tang of rape” are equally, if not more, troubling.
Yaphet Kotto, who has died aged 81, was the first African American to play a major villain in the James Bond films when he brought menace to Live and Let Die in 1973.
Wait, James Bond dies? Yes, for the first time in the character's 59-year cinematic history (and 68-year literary one), 007 is killed. The movie's title lied to us. It's pretty definitive too; he'd been badly wounded by Safin and the missile strike wiped out the island.
In the franchise's storied 58-year history, 007 has never actually died. Bond movies usually end with the successful destruction of a villain's lair, and the camera panning away as the hero beds a Bond girl—on a boat, in space, on a balcony, often with his would-be rescuers looking on.
Spectre Established Blofeld As The Overarching Villain Of Craig's Bond Era. In one of the biggest retcons in James Bond history, Spectre established that Ernst Stavro Blofeld was James Bond's adoptive brother, who was originally known as Franz Oberhauser.
What does M stand for? M is the head of MI6 and stands for for "Missions" – to identify that the incumbent is the head of the Missions Department. M is not one character, but rather a role that has been held by various characters across the 25 films.
An unnamed 006, a former Royal Marine commando, is mentioned in the Fleming novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Another apparent 006, a bearded gentleman, is seated directly to the left of James Bond during the "00 Section" briefing in the 1965 film, Thunderball. Major character in GoldenEye.
Seven actors in total have portrayed Bond in film. Following Connery's portrayal, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig have assumed the role.
Though Safin was spared, he was left facially disfigured and traumatized by the deaths of his family members. As such, he became determined to get revenge against Spectre for killing his family.
Colonel Rosa Klebb
Klebb helped establish the 007 formula for baddies. Her legendary knife shoes played an even bigger part in the novels where she initially used them to kill Bond - at least until Ian Fleming decided to revive him and write another book.
Bond's first encounter with Oberhauser has the villain cry "cuckoo". This is a reference to Bond being a "cuckoo in the nest", the foreigner disrupting the happiness of Oberhauser's family life. Franz Oberhauser is supposed to be the son of the Fleming-created character, Hannes Oberhauser.
Bond's IQ isn't known, although ScreenRant ranks Craig as the most intelligent Bond. Craig's physical prowess is equally impressive, particularly his incredible ability to freerun in Casino Royale. Sean Connery was working on his physique long before he was cast as Bond. At the age of 22, Connery entered the 1953 Mr.
In terms of time span, Daniel Craig is the longest-serving Bond of all time, with 15 years passing between his debut in Casino Royale (2006) and his swan song in No Time To Die (2021). But both Sean Connery and Roger Moore actually played the character in more films than Craig.
