If new Star Wars and Jurassic Park trailers weren’t big enough nostalgia bombs for you, then you’re in luck: On Thursday morning, Sony will unveil the title and cast of the next James Bond movie via live-stream at 007.com.

We already know that the 24th Bond movie will feature Daniel Craig in a fourth turn as 007, as well as Skyfall additions Ralph Fiennes (M), Ben Whishaw (Q), and Naomie Harris (Moneypenny). Skyfall‘s Sam Mendes is also set for a second go in the director’s chair.

Beyond that, there is only speculation — though being that this is 2014 and the Internet never rests, there has been plenty of that.

Among the tantalizing rumors: that Oscar-winning villain extraordinaire Christoph Waltz could join the franchise as classic baddie Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who has been played by almost as many actors as Bond himself.

Bond 24 — or, whatever it’s name will be be come Thursday morning — is set for release in November 2015.
