Javier Bardem will make his return to Spanish cinema when he plays a neo-Nazi ideologue in “Alacran enamorado” (Scorpion in Love), a film based on a novel by his brother Carlos.

In remarks to Efe, Spanish director Santiago Zannou said the winner of a best-supporting-actor Oscar for his turn in the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” will play a secondary character named Solis, a role distinct from the purely villainous one he has in the upcoming James Bond film.
