We were lucky to have Christoph in 'Spectre': Daniel Craig

Los Angeles: James Bond star Daniel Craig is happy that double Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz will play the villain opposite him in the upcoming movie "Spectre".

The Austrian actor, 59, best known for his role of a German Officer in "Inglorious Bastards" and a bounty hunter in "Django Unchained", will play the character of Franz Oberhauser in the new film.

"Christoph has so much acting talent and we were so lucky to have him in the movie. I think he has done a wonderful job. The part is complicated and I can't really go into it. He has just done a wonderful job," Craig, 47, said.

"Spectre", the 24th James Bond adventure from Albert R Broccoli's EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is set for release in India on November 20, 2015 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
