James Bond 2015 Movie 'SPECTRE' Spoilers [VIDEO] Christoph Waltz Says He Isn't Blofeld, Oberhauser Is "More Interesting"

The 24th James Bond film was recently titled SPECTRE, leading to even more rumors that 007's arch nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld would be played by new cast member Christoph Waltz - a shoe-in for the villain role. Rumors started spreading when he was cast months ago, but even with the official announcement of his character name, Oberhauser, we can't seem to let it go that he isn't Blofeld in the 2015 movie. Well a new e-mail hack and leak of Sony Entertainment information might have spoiled the secret, but Waltz is still staying true to the story that he isn't the iconic villain. What do you think?

When asked by Collider up-front if he was actually going to be playing Blofeld and if Oberhauser was a stand-in to throw off the scent of moviegoers, Waltz dismissed the theory, explaining that his character is better!

"No. No," the actor said. "It's more interesting than that."

You can watch this interview clip to see Waltz talk about his role in the upcoming Sam Mendes film, opposite Daniel Craig, right here:

What do you think of this statement from Waltz? Is he just lying or are we too focused on Blofeld to appreciate Oberhauser? Let us know what you think of all of this in the comments section below!

Monica Bellucci, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott, and Jesper Christensen also star in this highly anticipated action film. Expect this film in theaters Nov. 16, 2015.

Here is the plot synopsis for SPECTRE:

A cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.
