Daniel Craig is not going to have an easy time in his last adventure as James Bond.

The Knives Out actor is set to hang up his suave suit after the forthcoming installment in the Bond saga which is set to be released in 2020.

With this being Craig’s final excursion as the secret agent, producers have made sure to match him again with one of his worst nemeses: Blofeld.

Christoph Waltz will return as the supervillain who has previously been played by Donald Pleasance, Max von Sydow, and Telly Savalas. Waltz made his first appearance as Blofeld in 2015’s Spectre.

The Oscar winner will join the cast of Ralph Fiennes, Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris, Ben Winshaw, and Jeffrey Wright, while fellow Academy Award winner, Rami Malek, has been chosen to play the other villain.

Although having endured many delays throughout filming, Bond 25 is scheduled for release on April 8th, 2020.
