The best thing I can say about this list is that at least it's better than this absolutely insulting equivalent Yahoo! published a few days ago.

1. Rachel Weisz (Too predictable)

2. Kate Upton (Not an actress)

3. Jennifer Aniston (Fifteen years too late)

4. Jessica Alba (Overexposed, too mainstream)

5. Kirsten Stewart (Death warmed over)

6. Samantha Barks (Who?)
7. Rihanna (Act much?)

 

The day that Kristen Stewart is in a Bond film, is the day I root for the villain to kill Bond as clearly the producers want the series to die.

Yeah, this list is far too American and filled with far too many name actresses.  The Bond girls from the Craig era have all been European and mostly been unknowns.

As long as they're beautiful and have a meaningful role that lasts longer than Berenice Marlohe in Skyfall or Gemma Arterton in QoS.

I say again, especially now that I saw the movie, I want Man of Steel's Antje Traue as either a Bond girl or villainess in Bond 24.  There is something very interesting and unique about her.

I agree. I would love her to be a villainess but I doubt that would happen due to her being one in Man of Steel, but there's still an opportunity for her to be a Bond Girl.

Obviously I would like the return of OLGA KURYLENKO and STANA KATIC And if the PENEPOLE CRUZ rumor was true I'd be fine. 

 

How about Charlize Theron?

I'd like to see the return of Stana Katic as well.  Unfortunately, her lack of availability due to CASTLE pretty much takes her out of the running for BOND 24, assuming that the show earns a seventh season after the upcoming sixth (and the ratings would have to completely tank for it not to get picked up again).

 

As for Theron, I wouldn't mind seeing her in a Bond film.  I might be more inclined to see her as the villain rather than a more traditional Bond girl, though.

I would also like Elsa Pataky, whom was suggested by someone on here. She's plays a member of Hobbs team in Fast Five and Fast and Furious 6 and is to good for Van Diesel.

That was me S K Y F A L L. I also suggested Gal Gadot who is also a member of the Fast & Furious crew, appearing in the 4, 5, and 6. Either one would be great for a Bond film.

Honestly, I'm really bored of Anglo-American primary Bond girls (in terms of the characters) right now.  We have had too many fellow agent/official ally Bond girls in the last decade - both Jinx and Miranda Frost in DAD, Vesper in Casino Royale, Strawberry Fields in QOS, Eve Moneypenny and M in Skyfall.

As was Gemma Arterton when Quantum of Solace was released.

Lucy Mecklenburgh wants Bond girl role stv 9 September 2013

Lucy Mecklenburgh wants to be a Bond girl.

The 'Only Way is Essex' beauty is keen to become a huge movie star after shooting to fame on the ITV2 reality show, and she would like nothing better than to don a tiny bikini and appear in a James Bond movie.

She said: ''I'd love to be a Bond girl because, well, who wouldn't want to be one? It would be amazing.''

Erm, well since Vesper Lynd and Strawberry Fields were actually civil servants (in HM Treasury and the Bolivian consulate, respectively) it's no surprise they're British. Likewise, JUST LIKE JAMES BOND, it's perfectly logical that MI6 would hire British people to work for them, like Moneypenny, Miranda Frost and M (especially M).

 

To be honest, I'm not even sure Eva Green's Vesper is meant to be British anyway, she just works for the Treasury.

 

So the only character you're right to be displeased with would be Jinx, as the filmmakers actively chose to have an NSA character, and therefore an American.

 

But let's not forget QoS's Camille, who was ever so slightly South American. Just a smidgen. A little Bolivian. A teensy, weensy bit.

 

I also assume your comment extends to the male agents too, in which case Q and Tanner shouldn't be British.

 

The fact that ex-MI6 agent Silva is Spanish is irrelevant, I guess. And Italian Mathis definitely doesn't count.

 

In short, I'm quite happy with the logic behind the series' representation of ethnic minorities in the British Secret Service and cast in general, particularly in the Craig era. Long may it continue.

I wouldn't mind a latina actress at all. But not those two.

I think Vesper is supposed to be at least partly French. Also, Mathis is French. Giancarlo Gianinni is Italian, but Mathis is not.

You read way too much into two simple sentences.  I was talking about overuse of the fellow agent and/or civil servant (notice how I said "official ally" in my original post) characterization for Bond girls, whether they be Brits or fellow agents of other nationalities like Camille or Jynx.  As you said, since Bond is British, it makes sense for his official allies to also be British or American.  HOWEVER,THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE BOND GIRLS NEED TO BE OFFICIAL ALLIES OR BRITISH.  All I meant was that I would like to see more varied characterizations and back stories for the Bond girls.  

 

What happened to innocent bystanders who were at the wrong place at the wrong time like Honey Ryder or Natalia? Or reformed criminals like Pussy Galore or Octopussy?  Or civilians out for vengeance like Melina?  Or villain's girlfriends?  Granted, the latter two archetypes were somewhat recently represented by Camille and Severine, but they are exceptions to the rule.  My point was that the series needs to regain some variety in terms of Bond girl characterizations.  My primary reason for concern about "Anglo-American" Bond girls is that if repeat such characterizations, it means they will probably fall into the trap of making the characters' fellow agents or British government employees as well.  It's an easy excuse for Bond to run into such a person and form a relationship with her on the other side of the world.

I'd like to see Melanie Laurent as a Bond girl.

 

Oo!  A bit on the indie side, but definitely an interesting, thoughtful, inspired choice.

 

I'll go on record as saying I'd like Bond to have a blonde leading lady again.  There hasn't been a main blonde Bond girl since Rosamund Pike in 2002, and hasn't been a blonde leading lady since Maryam d'Abo in 1987 (over 25 years!)  My number one choice -- I don't even know why for sure -- is Laurent's "Inglourious Basterds" co-star Diane Kruger.

 

Of course, part of the reason for the avoidance of blonde Bond girls of late may be the blondness of Bond himself.
