Could a weird No Time To Die line add weight to the theory that Madeleine Swann is Ernst Stavro Blofeld's secret daughter? With No Time To Die spending over a year on the shelf, James Bond fans had plenty of time to dream up predictions ahead of Daniel Craig's final mission, and one such theory claimed Madeleine Swann was Blofeld's daughter. While Skyfall introduced Swann as the child of SPECTRE's Mr. White, the notion of White adopting Madeleine on the orders of his not-exactly-parent-material boss seemed plausible. Blofeld is also heard describing Madeleine as a «daughter of SPECTRE.» Ultimately, nothing came of the idea. No Time To Die made no suggestion whatsoever that Madeleine and Blofeld were blood-related, and any lines that might've been interpreted as such proved wholly figurative.
A strange line spoken by Madeleine and Bond's daughter, Mathilde, brings the Blofeld connection back into focus. When Bond and his surprise family make their escape from Norway, pursued by Safin's goons, Mathilde innocently remarks, "A mosquito bit me." She then asks whether mosquitoes have friends, and amusingly checks whether or not her favorite toy is fond of the insects. It's an odd moment that comes out of nowhere, and bears no meaning to No Time To Die's plot.

Since Mathilde's strange mosquito ramblings begin shortly after
