As highly dubious rumors are flying around at the moment suggesting that Daniel Craig is being offered $150 million to return for two more James Bond films (if they are true, I can only imagine would be what he might earn on backend if the films make a particular amount of money), Christoph Waltz, who played classic villain Ernst Blofeld in “Spectre,” is reminding everyone that much about the future of the franchise remains a question mark.

“Right now, nobody even knows which studio will produce the next and if Daniel will return. All of that is filed under ‘carry on,’ ” he told German magazine Zeit-Magazin Mann (via CommanderBond).

However, if Craig agrees to play 007 again and if Waltz gets another crack at the villain, he’d welcome the opportunity, because he doesn’t think he got it right the first time out.

“I cannot claim that I’ve really nailed Blofeld. Overall, it held water and was okay. But it wasn’t what I’ve been looking for. I was searching for more inspiration,” the actor said, in what sounds like a slight dig at Sam Mendes.

But again, don’t count on Waltz’s Blofeld returning, because right now everything is up in the air. “I don’t know about that. Nobody knows. It wasn’t talked about, except in the press,” Waltz said about reprising his part.

In summary, despite all the rumors swirling at the moment, the status of the next James Bond movie is currently: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
