Could Mark Strong be the next James Bond villain?

So in the coming months the next movie in the James Bond franchise goes into production. This is something that we here at That Other Movie Blog are very excited about. But when I saw this latest bit of news (although I could just be jumping to conclusions), I got even more excited.

James Bond himself has touched down in Morocco where some of the shooting will be done. But more exciting is the fact that fellow actor Mark Strong is with him.

Strong is no stranger to playing villains in films, being bad guys in movies like Sherlock Holmes and Green Lantern. He has also played a spy in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Now more exciting is the fact that EON Productions have just reacquired the rights to the classic Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld (it's a lengthy story that you can get an insight into here). Throw in the fact that producers were looking for a classic Bond henchman makes me think that the next film will be very exciting.

Check out the photos below and tell us if you think Strong will make a good Blofeld.
