Empire Magazine has today unveiled the cover of their next issue, and as you can see, James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Blofeld Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz) take centre stage on what’s sure to be a must-buy issue, especially with Spectre director Sam Mendes editing!

What’s particularly interesting here is the fact that half of Waltz’s face is obscured by shadow. He’s also been relatively obscured in the trailers for the movie too, something which has obviously caused speculation to run rampant about him having facial scars like Blofeld.

In Spectre, a cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE. Daniel Craig reprises the role of 007 for the fourth time. Spectre is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, from a script by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.

The movie is set to be released on October 26th in the UK. The cast also includes Naomie Harris Ben Wishaw, Rory Kinnear, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci, David Bautista, Léa Seydoux, and Andrew Scott. Check out the TV spot and new posters below.
