The rumors of Sean Connery coming back to the James Bond films has been going on for years ever since Casino Royale was being made.  The rumors still today continue.

Cinematical posted a story quoting Sean Connery saying he “wouldn’t mind coming back as a Bond villian.”  A Bond villian?  Thats interesting, but if it happens, I don’t know how thrilled I’d be.

Connery is quoted as saying: “I wouldn’t mind coming back as a Bond villain. But I don’t think they would pay me enough. They don’t pay the money for other parts, only for the Bond character, although that wasn’t the case when I was doing it.” Ouch! I would think they might want to add Connery in to at least save some face. Sure, things change, but what production wants to be considered penny pinchers that only care about Craig?

Ace goes on to say: “Allegedly, the 77-year-old Academy Award-winning actor has been involved in negotiations to land a villain role with the film’s producers since Daniel Craig has been tapped to bring Ian Fleming’s agent back to the big screen with Casino Royale.”

As cool as it would be to see Sean Connery return to making movies, even if its just one movie, I don’t know if I’d like to see him as a Bond villian.  As a villian, I have no doubt at all that he’d be great.  Connery would be amazing as a villian.  Sean Connery is the creation of James Bond, and him making a move to a Bond villian, ehhh… I personally don’t know if I’d go for that.  I’d have to see the movie to really judge it.  If he does come back, I just hope that seeing Connery on screen doesn’t takes me out of the story.

That all being said, I’m very much looking foward to Quantum of Solace.  It better be just as good, if not better then Casino Royal.
