James Bond's nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld looks set to make a comeback to try and get the better of 007 once more (we predict he'll ultimately fail). The Guardian is reporting that Michael Sheen is to take portray the villain, filling the shoes of previous Blofeld's Max Von Sydow, Telly Savalas, Donald Pleasance, among others. Sheen, who has made a career thus far of appearing as real-life characters such as Tony Blair in The Queen, David Frost in Frost/Nixon and Brian Clough in The Damned United. Details of the new Bond movie are sparse at this time, but initial speculation suggests that Blofeld might be the head of Quantum, the evil organisation that has plagued Daniel Craig's James Bond in the last two movies. Blofled himself hasn't been seen in a 007 flick since he was unceremoniously thrown down a giant chimney in 1981's For Your Eyes Only.
