Bond villain Blofeld could return to Bond
Famous Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld could appear in future 007 films now that a long-running legal dispute has been settled.
Kevin McClory, who came up with the story for Thunderball with Ian Fleming, had been locked in a battle over Bond rights since 1959.
McClory, and later his estate, asserted he had created the Blofeld character.
Now film studio MGM and Bond film company Danjaq have acquired all the rights from McClory's estate.
