New James Bond SPECTRE Photos Released

Along with yesterday's trailer, Sony has released a pair of new photos from the new James Bond film, SPECTRE.

SPECTRE (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) was a fictional global terrorist organization that debuted in 1961's Thunderball and went on to appear as a primary antagonist for Bond in a number of films and novels.

SPECTRE is typically headed by the supervillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld who usually appeared accompanied by a white Persian cat in the movies. His iconography is incredibly recognizable, and Blofeld went on to become the inspiration for the character of Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers franchise.

Rory Kinnear will return as Tanner. Q will be Ben Whishaw. Naomie Harris returns as Miss Moneypenny, while Ralph Fiennes will return as M. Andrew Scott was confirmed, playing Denbigh. Dave Bautista will play Mr. Hinx. Monica Belluci will play Lucia Sciarra. Leia Seydoux will play Madeleine Swann. Christoph Waltz will join the film as Oberhauser, generally understood to be either Blofeld or a stand-in for him in a similar role at SPECTRE.

SPECTRE is due in theaters on November 6, 2015.
