James Bond faced many memorable villains over the years — megalomaniacal men who hid out in really easy-to-find fortresses and forced their thugs to wear jumpsuits. But 007 has only one archenemy: Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Now that supervillain could feature in an upcoming Bond movie.
Quoting anonymous sources, U.K. paper The Daily Express say Michael Sheen (The Queen) is ready to bring Blofeld back to take on Daniel Craig's down-and-dirty spy.
Blofeld, the mysterious leader of the Supreme Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Revenge and Extortion, aka SPECTRE, has been played by several actors over the years and was partial to white Persian cats. Bond always managed to thwart Blofeld's schemes for global conquest, but at a severe cost. At the end of both the novel and film for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Blofeld kills Bond's beloved wife.
There's no word yet if SPECTRE is also returning or if Blofeld might head up QUANTUM, the criminal group the most recent Bond films created.
