    We had a few in the past. Dink, for example. And the masseuse from FRWL.

    Indeed. They were not exactly sticks.

    Indeed. The distinction is an important one. Best to start slowly and increase (literally as well as figuratively) depending on how it goes and how the market responds. Tread lightly and feel our way forward, so to speak.

    Somehow when someone mentions a bigger woman it seems some people here think we want Dawn French as the next Bond girl.

    Good Dog, do you think Dink:

    even resembles the plus-size models mentioned?? I hope not @Ludovico. Dink, and, in fact, all Bond girls, deserve a place in Bond history since they are a part of the fantasy, no?

    For anyone griping about Fleming's Bond not being Idris, he was also not writing about 210lbs women straddling 007 in a loving tryst.

    I never said anything about the plus size models mentioned here. My comments are merely about the possibility of a plump Bond girl. Dink is an example of the body type that should still be acceptable for a Bond girl.

    Damn right. Nothing wrong with that body. And she made it to the title sequence too!

    Okay, if only Rachel Riley wanted to be an actress.

    It'd be a good idea. Besides, I hear she's an actress herself.

    Aspiring, I believe. She recently appeared in a film directed by Broccoli's daughter.

    The same user who only began talking about Danny Boyle a whole week after the original story came out? Pathetic.

    Neither am I. Seen it in other films before, not something that gets me intrigued plot-wise. Hoping it doesn't pan out and is mere rumor, but who knows at this rate - so many rumors from so many different angles.

    Not keen on the idea either. Something makes me think they will royally screw this plot angle if they go down this path, Boyle or no Boyle.

    I was hoping to get as close to a straightforward mission/standalone movie as we could, so I really hope it won't happen.

    Same. We are long overdue for a clean, bare bones, no frills, on the job mission.

    Crummy idea. Sadly it's perfectly in line with this newfound tradition of the Craig era having awful ideas that actually make it to the screen: effed up gunbarrels, brother-gate, forced story arc, etc .

    The protégé thing is nothing more than an internet rumour, so it's nothing to stress over at this early a stage.

    I still fully support Talulah Riley as a Bond girl.

    So do I.

    Now, from the new version of MacGyver, may I suggest Ms. Tristin Mays ?

    And from the same show, Ms. Kate Bond :

    Agreed, the sex scenes would be awkward as f.

    Dude, that woman was not plump at all, she just had large breasts.

    She may not be large enough for Goldeneye0094, but I think Noomi Rapace would be a great choice.

    Karoline Hurfurth

    I have only seen her in Perfume: Story Of A Murderer, which I don't remember much of. But she has a striking look. And at 34, she is the right age for either Craig, or preferably, a new Bond.

    She sure did. But we have seen thinner Bond girls. I would consider Dink slightly on the plump side, at least by today's standards.

    @HarmonyRockets First and foremost I am very diverse in my choice of women second of all I don't want someone who is 500 pounds to be a bond girl yes I am attracted to alot of bigger women but that doesn't mean I feel like all big girls should be bond girls it would just be nice to have some body diversity in the roles plus I think noomi rapace would be an interesting choice hell I would love to see daisy ridley as a bond girl in the future

    How about Felicity Jones? I'm open to her in a future Bond film, either as main Bond babe, secondary MI6 throwaway (a'la Strawberry), MP (time for Naomi to go imho) or even, heaven forbid, Bond protege. She's attractive in an unassuming and wholesome way and a decent actress.
