It has been reported today that Wil Wheaton will return to "The Big Bang Theory" to reprise his roll as the arch-nemesis of leading character Sheldon. The last time the two met, Wheaton's character defeated the show's regular character in a Magic: The Gathering like game created especially for the show. Will said "Magic" game be returning to the new episode when it debuts in April?

Wheaton, a celebrity king of geekdom, has been a long time fan of Magic and other Wizards of the Coast products like Dungeons and Dragons. In addition to receiving exclusive previews for Magic sets previously, he has also been featured as a special celebrity on the "Game with Fame" Xbox promotion for Duels of the Planeswalkers.

"The Big Bang Theory" follows four nerdy guys in their quest to make the attractive female across the hall fall in love with them. It debuted on CBS in 2007, and airs at 9:30 on Mondays on CBS (EDT).
