James Mason was considered for the part of villain Karl Stromberg. His famous role as Jules Verne's Captain Nemo in Walt Disney's 20.000 leghe sotto i mari (1954) was a major element in his consideration. He would also be considered as main villain Hugo Drax in the next Bond movie Moonraker - Operazione spazio (1979). Coincidentally, James Bond creator Ian Fleming based the villain Drax on the Jules Verne's character Robur from the "Clipper Of The Clouds", "Master of the World" and "Robur, The Conqueror" stories. Sadly, Mason never got into any Bond movie.
