There are great Bond films without Blofeld as the villain, but new fans can't be introduced into the series without first watching the Bond-Blofeld rival play out in the 1960s and '70s then again during the Daniel Craig era. This gave the two men an even stronger connection. Then Blofeld is the primary antagonist in 'You Only Live Twice,' 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and 'Diamonds Are Forever.' He returns to haunt 007 again in the 21st century, as he is behind the scenes in 'Casino Royale,' 'Quantum of Solace' and 'Skyfall,' but he comes to the forefront in 'Spectre' and returned in 'No Time to Die.' In 'Spectre,' Blofeld reveals that he and Bond grew up as stepbrothers after 007's parents died. It features James Bond (Daniel Craig) in a high-stakes game with a bunch of other players - a game that culminates in a four-way all in. He doesn't become the primary villain of the series until the fifth film, 'You Only Live Twice,' but he operates behind the scenes in three of the first four movies prior to that. This post contains spoilers for 'John Wick: Chapter 4.' If you know anything about poker, then you probably know that the poker scene in 'Casino Royale' is one of the craziest scenes ever put to film.
The author of all your pain.'Īs great as Goldfinger is as a villain, it's hard to usurp Blofeld from the top spot.
