When he’s not bumming you out with the tragedy of Sesame Street or antagonizing the stars of Horrible Bosses 2, Christoph Waltz has established himself as a particularly gifted cinematic villain. More brains than brawn, it looks like he’ll have an opportunity to show his evil-doing chops in the as-yet-unnamed James Bond movie due out next year.
A tweet from reliable source Baz Bamigboye confirmed the news:

While Waltz hasn’t been confirmed to be playing the villain, it feels like it would be a huge waste for him to be in any other role.
