The thing is, Fleming was very good at these things: Bond is enamoured to Honey because of the way she lives in her own world. She's a strong character. As is Domino Derval who lives on the edge because ehe doesn't want to leave hr gilded cage. Teresa is too strong willed for her own good, which makes her fascinating person. Vesper is a professional whom he relly admires, so is Gala Brand (even to his chagrin, it's Bond who's agressively persuing her), etc. etc.
all interesting and strong women with their own lives, without this complicated behaviour. And certainly not the damsl in distress they are made out to be in the public press.
Yes, excellent post, Commander.
Her latest film with Universal (who are distributing Bond 25) just got pushed back 5 months. This likely had something to do with the Wonder Woman 1984's release getting delayed till summer 2020. Nonetheless, it frees time for Gal to do Bond 25...I think she's the sort of 'star' Eon are after and she was in London yesterday for the premiere of Wreck-It Ralph 2....perhaps she met with Eon and Cary?
Alternatively, would it be too scandalous for Rosamund Pike to return to the series? She has matured as an actress since DAD and could easily fit into the mould of either the leading lady or lead villain. She was very young when she made DAD but I would happily see her return as a new character opposite Craig. Much like Maud Adams before her...
Another actress who would be great if the role had some dramatic import would be Natalie Portman. But I imagine the role would require something quite radical and new to attract her attention. Personally, I think a filmmaker like Cary could attract her to the project. Perhaps the villain?

Totally agree. Great chemistry with Craig. They wanted to recreate it so badly they cast 2 more French actresses in SF and SP.
None have come close to Vesper. In fact I'd say it's been a bit of a glaring gap in the subsequent Bond films.
Deepika Padukone
Minka kelly is 38 and looks amazing.
Absolutely. A crime she hasn’t been in a Bond film.
Radiating Fiona Volpe, that would be a definate smoldering yes!
*nods approval*
Unless the future Bond is supposed to bed a slightly older woman – for "queen and country", or just for his own pleasure (or both)?
My personal opinion is that the producers would take the opportunity to cast a younger face as a romantic interest rather than an older one.
Oh, I definitely agree there, @bondsum. Bond's partners are always likely to be younger, and anything else would be surprising. A younger Bond opposite Lara Pulver (or a different actress with similar presence/looks) could be a one-off thing, just to get people talking. Interesting point re. the Dalton era. Have never thought about the number of women he slept with in the films, but EON had their reasons it looks like.
I am not calling Eva Green a villianous Character in CR I am saying that lara could be another reminder of Eva Green but as a villianous Character. That way it won't be a rip-off of vesper and we get something fresh to the table.
