Kevin Spacey desperate to play villain in Bond movie

Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey is urging James Bond bosses to consider him for a role in the next installment of the franchise because he has always dreamt of playing a villain opposite the super spy.

The "American Beauty" star, who played legendary comic book villain Lex Luthor in 2006 "Superman Returns", has set his sights on a role opposite British actor Daniel Craig in the follow-up to last year hit "Quantum of Solace", reports variety.com.

Spacey insists playing an arch enemy of the suave secret agent is high on his list of his priorities.

"I would love to play the villain in Bond, but they haven't called yet," he said.

Cue tabloid newspapers claiming he has been cast as Blofeld...

Thanks to `Quantumofsolace007` for the alert.
