Word is is that in the next James Bond movie, Skyfall, Ralph Feinnes (I know, spelling) is rumored to be cast as Bond's arch nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
I suppose it's only right, as the Bond franchise has been rebooted with Daniel Craig, then Bond's greatest adversary should also have new life breathed into him.

I don't trust any Bond rumors anymore. First it was Al Pacino in Quantum of Solace, then everyone was certain that Naomie Harris would be Moneypenny in Skyfall. It would be pretty cool, though.

Wasn't it Javier Bardem who is the new villain?

Bardem will be the main villain, the guy Bond actually goes up against. If there's a role for Blofeld, he'll likely remain in the background like he did in Connery's early films.

Point taken, i can't really imagine Ralph Fiennes as Blofeld though. Still, a background cameo would be interesting.

As I understand it, Bardem would probably be the muscle, but Feinnes as Blofeld will be the brains.

To be honest, his Lord Voldemort's mannerisms kind of reminded me of Austin Powers' Dr. Evil. Since Dr. Evil is an over the top parody of Bond villains, I think Ralph Fiennes would be a very good Blofeld.

Whatever, I do not like any Bond movie after Sean Connery. Although I am interested in watching the Daniel Craig ones.

Watch Casino Royale. Don't bother with Quantum of Solace.

But on the upside, I think that that weaselly little Frenchmen in Quantum Of Solace was indeed a very hateable villain.
