    I would rather see a Baron Samedi talkshow.

    I’m in.

    The Baron could be killed every week, and he would come back again. On the front of a train, ideally. Superb idea for a series

    Harris is awesome though; she could easily have made that work. I’m a bit sad it won’t happen.

    She is awesome, I agree. Doesn’t mean it should happen.
    Hmm. Dunno; great star actor, memorable character, established world. I don’t know what the movie would be exactly but I’d be open if they had a good idea for it.

    I think Bond as a series is best without any spinoffs at all.

    Having said that, if they went that route I think Leiter and Moneypenny both would make sense to be the ones to have their own film/series. But Bond stays unique to me in that, no matter how interesting and enjoyable I find the supporting characters, Bond as the reason and main hero/protagonist/awesomereasontoseethefilm and is rather critically important. I think any spinoff takes away from the Bond series, so I just don't want one. Not that I can envision for several years anyway.

    I’m calling it: she’s only in it for 5 mins maximum.

    Just like Solange, Fields, Severine, and Lucia.

    I thought we all already thought that?

    I'm going to agree with you, only to not be disappointed when I actually see the movie. It is such a terrible waste. Hopefully she's a henchwoman!

    Will be a massive shame if she is totally underused in NTTD?

    I'm hoping so too. We haven't had a proper henchwoman in the Craig-era at all :(

    Would be a cool idea. She seems to have gotten her part the same way Jeffrey Wright and Ben Whishaw got theirs as they all worked with Craig prior to Bond.

    I believe she was also one of the last to be cast in the film.

    Yeah probably the last of the big names. In the Jamaica interviews she looked pretty lost, like she didn't even know what her character was supposed to do in the film...

    BTW is confirmed that Paloma is a character that helps Bond in Cuba, so hardly an henchwoman.

    Unless we get a "twist" and she works for Malek's character. A tricky thing to pull off considering the current track record with these kind of fast character turns, but if done right it could be interesting... but again major wishful thinking on my part haha :D

    Well, it's possible, even tho I'm quite skeptical about women being "bad" in this one... but since Nomi is an ally and Madeleine a love interest, I quite like this idea.

    I'm wondering if Paloma is an even smaller role like Stephanie Sigman's in SP?

    Wish she were the lead.

    Impossible. It's obvious she will have a Severine/Sciarra kind of screen time.

    I really, really hope not. If there was ever an actress who deserves to be a Bond girl it's Ana. I heard she's done a few scenes at Pinewood (I don't know how much) so hopefully she gets a major action sequence. I wouldn't mind a role similar to Paris Carver in terms of screen time.
  • I know there are some Lashana detractors out there - but I think anyone saying she's 'ugly' or too masculine, may have to eat their words with these THR photos. I mean, 'wow.' It's hard to steal the spotlight from Ana De Armas - but boy, Lashana did it.

    To add further to this, PWB landed on the cover of fricking Vogue and looks stunning. Surely they can figure a role for her in NTTD or Bond 26?

    It's a matter of taste, that's all. I personally don't find Lashana attractive. Ana De Armas is gorgeous, though.

    Yep. There's no comparison for me, really. I found Lynch more attractive in the tactical gear, actually.

    Why do I think that Phoebe looks a bit like Eva green or Lara pulver? :P

    Phoebe certainly has that "cute but devilish" thing going on, but I don't see much beyond that.

    Mind you, Eva and Lara Pulver aren't exactly ringers for each other either, so it must just be the vibe!

    No idea. Zero resemblance.

    Lachana is the new Grace Jones for me.
    And i think that's exactly what she wants to be. Not sexualized in any way, just a badass character in her own right.

    I don't even see the need to include her in any 'who's more attractive' debates. It's really beside the point.

    We obviously still have Léa and Ana around. They will be our regular Bond girls.

    Excellent point with Grace Jones. Tanya Roberts may have been more conventionally attractive, but Grace Jones was a much more interesting screen presence, was convincingly dangerous, which made her one of the highlights of an otherwise lower tier Bond film.
