The term SPECTRE stands for "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion", a fictional global terrorist organizationo featured in the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming. Led by evil genius and super villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the supranational organization began as a small group of criminals but became a vast international organization with its own SPECTRE Island training base in the films, to replace the Soviet SMERSH.
Daniel Craig will star again as James Bond, with help from new cast members Christoph Waltz, Andrew Scott, Dave Bautista, Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci. Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear and Naomie Harris will reprise their "Skyfall" roles.
Directored by Sam Mendes, SPECTRE comes some thirty months after "Skyfall" debuted.
