Anthony Hopkins could be hitting our screens as the next Bond villain in the upcoming James Bond flick. The Sun (A British Newspaper) has reported that Sir Anthony Hopkins is close to signing a deal to see him as Daniel Craig's nemesis. The only stumbling block seems to be the number of films he signs up. Bond execs want him to become a recurring villain much like Blofeld was and Hopkins is currently considering. With Bardem also being linked for a role this movie could be shaping up to be quite something. And Kevin Spacey and Ralph Fiennes have both been linked to roles as villains in this movie and with both of them having been bald before, could this mean the return of Blofeld? Will Hopkins be portraying Bonds arch nemesis Blofeld or a new villain?

Hannibal Lecter is actually played by Liam Neeson, not Anthony Hopkins. :P
I'm not a 007 fan, but Anthony Hopkins is pretty cool.

The Sun?
I hate to break it to you but that tabloid always makes shit up. After The Dark Knight came out they said that the sequel would star Eddie Murphy as The Riddler and Shia LeBeouf as Robin.

I thought they wanted Bardem as the villain? But it would be damn sweet if Hopkins was in it!

Anthony Hopkins all the way!


Javier Bardem or Ralph Fiennes as the right handman/number two.

@Paul Rom

Anthony Hopkins was Hannibal Lecter?

@Exiles & Dynamo

The Sun isn't the most reliable but still pretty interesting. They also said Megan Fox would be Catwoman! LOL!

@Urban8er

I'm guessing that Bardem and Hopkins will both be in it
