    I've been saying this on the Dynamite Comics thread, but in the James Bond comic book entitled VARGR, there's a character named Dharma Reach who heavily resembles Morena Baccarin from the television series called V. Baccarin should play Reach.

    If they need a MI@F for Craig for the next one, may I humbly suggest Alison Doody. She's still got the goods, even at 50.

    Plastic fantastic.

    Haven't seen her in much apart from Crusade I don't think but isn't she quite wooden?

    Why not do some screen tests with Dan and find someone he has genuine chemistry with?

    Bah, plastic is fine when used well. Flesh and blood is overated ;)

    Like the idea of Emily Blunt but suspect she's probably beyond playing Bond girls.

    I knew Doody had been in a Bond film already. So it was in AVTAK.

    Not sure I really approve of the same actors reappearing in different roles. I know it's happened a few times in the Bond films but don't think it's a great idea.

    Plastic or wood? Which is it?

    Plastic appearance. Wooden performance.

    Any mileage in an under cover spy who plays up the image of a bimbo, therefore playing with Bond and playing with our stereotypical image of what a Bond girl should be (and gently poking fun at previous efforts) and then the twist that she is under cover and every bit as competant as Bond. We are not really sure if Bond has been fooled or knew/suspected all the time (great opportunity for some clever dialogue).

    Like the opposite of Britt Ekland in TMWTGG. Maybe she can "accidentally" press a dangerous button with her bum, but turns out... It was no accident.

    It all depends on what the role requires and who is playing Bond, of course.

    These are some who would be great. opposite DC:

    1. Morena Baccarin
    2. Emily Blunt
    3. Violante Placido
    4. Pom Klementieff

    Anyone callen Violente should be a Bond-girl IMO

    She was brilliant in The American and Season 2 of Transporter: The Series. Different roles carried out beautifully on her part.

    Stunning looking but can she act I've not sceen anything with her in yet.

    Yes, she can. But on the same level as Lea Seydoux. Not a mind blowing actress but average. If a role can be written fittingly to her image and abilities, she'd be terrific.

    Now you mention The Amerian, how about Thekla Reuten (41) ? pure class IMHO

    Ana-De-Armas-2.jpg Ana de Armas gets my vote Ana starred in Knock Knock with Keanu Reeves and will be in the upcoming Blade Runner 2049

    I mentioned her as well a couple pages ago.
    Blade Runner might be her break out role, and if we get a new Bond, she would be the right age. not for craig though

    Less than 2 years younger than Lea.

    I think we almost need two threads. With DC being around 50, some of these suggestions would just not work IMHO if he takes the next movie.

    Does anyone know how they found Izabella Scorupco? She was virtually unknown at the time, I assume?

    I don't know her story but I assume she was at least doing modeling work, had had some acting training, and had an agent plugging her into small roles. I assume the net is cast far and wide when scoping potential Bond girls. The odd Halle Berry aside, many of those who audition probably are just models with acting training.

    Part of me wants to see someone we've never heard of for the next film.

    Berenice Marlohe, Olga Kurylenko, Gemma Arterton, and Caterina Murino fit that mold. Eva Green not quite with her notable indie background.

    I too like virtually unknown Bond girls. Villains, I can kind of go either way—a Jonathan Pryce or a Mads Mikkelson.

    Ana is 29 she obviously looks after herself, I think Craig is maybe a bit too old for a Bond Girl that age though it's not stopped major age gaps previously in the series.

    Ali Larter closer to Craigs age and looks great, possible American agent role...
