Javier Bardem Offered Role of Blackbeard in PAN

It looks like Skyfall villain Javier Bardem could play another villain role in Warner Bros' Peter Pan origin film, Pan. According to Deadline he's been offered the role of Blackbeard the Pirate. 

Atonement director Joe Wright is in negotiations to direct the film from a script written by Jason Fuchs. If he does take on the film, he's likely to do something great with it. 

The story follows an orphan who "is taken to the magical world of Neverland, where he becomes the savior of the natives and leads a rebellion against evil pirates."

Bardem is a fantastic actor who always makes for an awesome, intense villain. I hope he ends up plauing Blackbeard because he'd be perfect for it!
