For those ardent fans of cinema’s biggest franchises, the last few weeks in the movie industry have acted like a potent blast of nostalgia. Following up on the teaser trailers for Jurassic World and J.J. Abrmas’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, today we have learned more about the status, cast and, perhaps most importantly, that the title for Sam Mendes’ Bond 24 will be Spectre. Questions abound.
In accordance with previous rumors, those new additions will indeed include Christoph Waltz, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott, Monica Bellucci and Léa Seydouz, who will join the likes of Daniel Craig, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes as the newly-appointed M. Moreover, all signs indicate that Waltz will play the film’s main villain, though Mendes revealed his name to be Oberhauser — not Blofeld, it seems.

Filmmaker Sam Mendes, actor Daniel Craig and the cast of the twenty-fourth James Bond film appeared at a press announcement for the film at Pinewood Studios this morning in the United Kingdom.
The big news was the reveal of the film's title "Spectre," a reference to the famous criminal organisation that served as the main antagonist of the Sean Connery-era of the franchise and looks to be making a comeback here. This would pretty much cement rumors of the return of Bond's nemesis Blofeld in the film (though his name wasn't mentioned at the event).
Rehearsals are underway with shooting to begin on Monday. Filming will take place in London, Rome, Mexico City, Morocco, and Austria.
New cast members include Christoph Waltz as the villain Oberhauser, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, Lea Seydoux as Madeline Swan, and Andrew Scott as a new MI6/Home Office staffer Denbigh.
