I think she is a good actress, but I find her too sexy for Moneypenny. I loved the shaving scene, but then I didn't know she was Moneypenny. After she seemed to resist Bond's advances, I started suspecting the rumours were true.
She's not in the same league as gift-bag girl from QoS and certainly not Ocean Club Receptionist (Christina Cole) from CR.
Definite MP potential though.
I wish something had happened between those two receptionists. Forget Bond.
Good God, they've been saying that since Goldfinger :)
As far as I'm concerned, Rosa Klebb, although not a Bond girl, was a match for Bond. Heck, if you look at Bond girls, Silvia Trench was a match for Bond: she bleeding broke into his flat!
Well, that's one way of putting it.
;)
Sorry, but that won't feed the feminista bulldog. Not only must the Bond woman be tough as nails, as resourceful as a beaver, and smart as a whip, she must look like a Victoria's Secret model.
I meant as an adversary, i.e. "has Bond met his match"? If they mean a Bond girl, then of course I would say Silvia Trench, who may be the only Bond girl who actively seduced Bond (instead of the other way round). She even broke into his flat (which makes me wonder why some people moaned so much about Bond doing the same in CR and SF). Sure, she was no match as a spy, but she was not meant to be a spy. As a lover, she certainly was up there with the best.
I agree. I don't find her attractive. Very average.
@Timmer
Yes, certainly the most interesting of the Bond girls are the vulnerable ones - "birds with a wing down". In terms of contemporary Bond lovelies, Severine was interesting and relatively intriguing and it was a shame that she was underused. I strongly suspect it will be exactly the same thing for this Swedish character in Bond 24. Greater character movement in Bond films is something I've been hanging out for for eons but they are very much action oriented. Still, it's good to see they've gone to a little more effort in terms of the former with the Craig films.
Agree with the Major here. It has been more than two decades now without a proper Blond girl.
Hmmm. I wonder if that's by accident?
I am dark blond. How stupid am I?
No comment. ;-)
According to several news outlets in Germany, a Swedish professional dancer is being considered for a part in Bond 24. Back in 2010, when Isabel Edvardsson found fame as a jury member of the TV show 'Let's Dance' in Germany, she posed for the country's edition of Playboy. Four years on, it is reported that a member of the Bond 24 production team came across her recently in that very issue and she is now under consideration for the minor 'Scandinavian' Bond girl role for the film.
32 year-old Isabel Edvardsson has already had a brush with Bond, having been a special guest at the Berlin premiere of 'Skyfall'. She has two acting credits on the German telenovelas 'Verbotene Liebe' and 'Wege zum Glück'.
Scandinavian actresses who are known to have screentested for Bond 24 include: Synnove Macody Lund, Birgitte Hjort Sorensen, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Disa Östrand, and Ida Engvoll.

A lead villain Bond girl would not be out of the question. There have been no shortage of gorgeous femme fatales in the series, some with very strong roles, but only one lead villain femme, that being Sophie Marceau as Elektra King in TWINE.
Who knows?
Note to fellow Bond girl devotees; I see that Tonia Sotiropolou, "Bond's lover" in SF -the girl that he has the no speak, lie around in bed with beer bottle product placement "relationship" with, has turned up in the new Hercules film. She's buried way deep in the credits but she's there. Maybe she speaks this time.
As for Penelope being a main Bond villain, I cannot see that happening either. A main female villain, yes; but I simply cannot picture her in that role. An older female I can see being more feasible - and as I've mentioned before, I'd loved Helen Mirren to play that role. But I do not have a clue as to whether the villain for Bond 24 will be female or male. I think the role will be different from Skyfall's villain, that's about it.
Joanne Froggatt being up for an Emmy may boost her chances. But I feel sure Mendes and company have a clear idea who they want for the British Bond girl role. And indeed, as someone else mentioned, since we seem to have zero clues about her perhaps she has already accepted the role and is just being quiet as EON prefers at the moment. Then we shall just find out when the cast is officially announced. Or if her agent wants her to have early publicity on it, he or she can find a way to leak the info earlier.
I cannot think of any British actress that seems likely, but that is harder for me living far from Britain. I don't care for Natalie Dormer, so I hope it is not her. I sort of like Billie Piper in some things, but Bond? Not really. And I am thinking she will not be blonde if the secondary Scandinavian actress is blonde - but surely that is not a definite. I just hope they put a very good actress in the role. Preferably someone strikingly attractive or beautiful. I personally really like Keely Hawes, but I cannot picture her in a Bond film.
Rebecca Hall would be out because I really do not think EON would want (and perhaps not Mendes either) having Mendes' real life partner be the main Bond girl. I know he directed Kate before, but still ... and same goes for the lovely and talented Rachel Weisz. I'd love Kate or Rachel to be in a Bond film but I think that will not happen, maybe not this next one or maybe ever.
My personal favorite for the main Bond girl would be Jennifer Connelly, but she is American. Married to a Brit. Maybe she could play a Brit? :) I like her being closer in age to Craig, she is a very good actress, and is really beautiful.
Okay, well, my speculation today (since this is the rumours thread) is: Emily Blunt.
For no particular reason other than I really cannot think of a British actress for the main Bond girl, one who is a decent actress. I admit I'm currently stumped. I'd like for people who really know the British actresses to chime in again. Who would Mendes and EON go after, as a good actress, for this main role?
On another note, Karen Gillian who starred in the horror film, oculus, played the villainous assasin Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy and also started in Dr.Who wants to play a Bond villain. She's 26 btw.
She can play brunette with wet hair too. Very versatile!
