Jesper Christensen's 'Mr. White' Will Return In SPECTRE

I think Quantum will be a branch of SPECTRE.

he was in quantum of solace quite a bit. i love quantum of solace. its one of my favorites.

Damn, saw this yesterday but thought it wasn't 'comic-booky' enough to make an article about. Regardless, this is great news! He was awesome in Casino Royale, and one of the only redeeming qualities of Quantum Of Solace. It'll be great to finally get some closure on Quantum.

@Minty

You expect a site like this to actually bother focusing on Comic book movie news? They just go for whatever is popular in an attempt to get views :P

Quantum of Solace actually gets better with each viewing, especially now that they are expanding on Quantum as a part of spectre

3 things:

1) It's not a big deal that Skyfall made no mention of Quantum. The 3rd Bond film, Goldfinger, also took a break from using Spectre villains. Goldfinger was not affiliated with the group. And then of course Thunderball returned to having the group as a Bond enemy.

2) The synopsis says Bond gets a tip from an "unlikely, cryptic source" which gets him started on Spectre's trail. This source is probably Mr. White. Last time we saw him he was sitting in the theatre where Bond outed many Quantum operatives. It seems he may have gotten away; but its possible Quantum is out to get him now.

3) Quantum will be be revealed to be Spectre I believe. Quantum in Bulgarian is translated to "Spectre." It is, afterall a secret organization. It would not be a stretch for the group to have separate names, or even switch names.

Bonus: Just as Bond was reinvented with Casino Royale to better match films like the Bourne Identity, it is possible that the Bond people by including Spectre, are trying to tape in to the recent success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I.E. Shield vs. Hydra/MI6 vs. Spectre. It makes sense. Moreover, Quantum is Spectre in all but name.....the Bond folks did recently get the full rights to the characters of Blofeld in Spectre in 2013, so obviously they could not call it "Spectre" in 2006's Casino Royale.

There have been numerous James Bond comic books over the years, that's why we cover it.

I didn't know that about the word Quantum, that all but confirms it is Spectre.

AND....one more thing...just thought of this.

In the Casino Royale novel, it is not SPECTRE that Bond is up against, or that ends up killing Vesper. It is actually SMERSH, which was affiliated with the Soviet Union.

Later, when we are introduced to SPECTRE for the first time in the novel "Thunderball" it is revealed that SPECTRE utilizes the best criminals from various international organizations, one of which was SMERSH.

Ergo, Quantum could simply be a modern update of SMERSH, from which SPECTRE sometimes utilizes agents. We may find out that due to Bond's outing of so many high profile figures in Quantum of Solance, that MI6 was able to capture or kill many of those people.

Or, since Quantum did already have so many characteristics of SPECTRE in the first two Craig films, perhaps it is SPECTRE itself, or simply a wing of the organization.

Technically, he was last seen sitting at the Opera in Bregenz being smart enough not to stand up.

See how it's done Warner?
Great Director, great cast a spectacular female cast is obviously a great script.
Easy, 1 billion guaranteed to MGM.

I was definitely more excited to hear about the new Bond movie that the teaser trailer for the new Star Wars movie. So the two movie i am the most excited to see next year is Avengers: Age of Ultron and Spectre.
