The criminal organization revealed as QUANTUM in this film, which was active but unknown in the previous film Casino Royale, is something which producer Barbara Broccoli has revealed to be intended to be an ongoing and regular foe of James Bond, much like SPECTRE in the early Bond movies of the 1960s.
