Could Bonds Blofeld return?

File this one under High Unlikely: Michael Sheen is being rumoured as possibly involved in Bond 23.

Considering its tabloid-tastic source (the Daily Express), we’re fully expecting it to be shot down, but the rumour whispers have it he’s “negotiating” to resurrect legendary Bond baddie Blofeld for the new film.

It sounds more like a lark cooked up by writer Peter Morgan – who is actually attached to co-write the next 007 outing – throwing his old mate’s name into the mix.

"Michael is hot property right now and it is felt that he's the right man to bring Blofeld back to life," an “unnamed source” blabs to the newspaper. "Michael was a Bond fan in his youth, so this would be a dream role for him."

Still, even if it is so much tattle, we’ve got to admit we’d like to see Sheen take a crack at the man in charge of Spectre. He’s a great actor and we’re sure he’d bring something unique.

Whether he’d want to step into shoes (and a bald cap, if going the whole way) already filled by the likes of Donald Pleasance, Charles Gray and Telly Savalas is anyone’s guess…

Do you want Sheen as Blofeld? Or should they leave him at the bottom of the chimney?
