I loved Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls, Wedding Crashers, and Red Eye. She's a great actress and I think she would make a perfect Bond girl someday. At 29 years old, she's already the right age for a James Bond film. She's older than Henry Cavill. :) Bond 22, perhaps? :)

She has that cuteness factor going for her. Wouldn't mind seeing her playing a bad girl, though. But yes, she should be a Bond girl, and for Bond 22.

Maybe, honestly when I look at her I see Vivienne from TSWLM...I don't know whether that's good or bad.

Yeah, she could work well as a Bond girl. I don't think she has the meanness to be a bad Bond girl. But this would have to be a lot of years down the line. Like, for instance, if Pierce comes back to the role in CR, you can't have him bedding Rachel McAdams, can you? :)

I dont see why not, dude - Rosamund Pike was only 22 when she did Die Another Day iirc.

Ehh...looks like Jennifer Garner without the action skills. She's the kind of blandly pretty girl you'd see at the mall, not Bond girl material IMHO.

I would really like to see Rachel McAdams in a Bond film someday, perhaps even as soon as Bond 22.

I was, however, surprised to learn that she's 29 years old. I always thought that she was younger than that.

Looking at the cover, she certainly looks like it.

Hmm.. I like! She looks pretty. A bit girl-next-doorish. But I've never seen her in anything yet.

Yes, she could definitely be a Bond girl. I am convinced of her acting skills as she stars in my dreams nightly!

Perhaps she could play Vesper Lynd if Henry Cavill is cast as James Bond.

How about McAdams as Moneypenny? I don't think she's really a "Bond girl" -- those are usually a little more exotic and dangerous -- but her likeable, girl-next-door persona is the perfect one for Moneypenny.

She is Canadian, as was the definitive Moneypenny, Lois Maxwell.

I guess she likely will be far too big a star to take such a part, but it'd really work perfectly if it somehow happened, IMO.

It could be great news if Rachel McAdams lands the role of Vesper Lynder. What do you think? She's sexy and above all a solid actress. And with a classic good looks in her.

I just looked her up on google and she's not a bad looking girl (nothing hugely special, though). I've never heard of her as an actress before. Honestly can't comment really.

I saw her in RED EYE and WEDDING CRASHERS, she's good looking but she's also another big-name American actress and I would prefer to go for someone less well-known for the role.

She's a nice looking girl, and she can act (she was the lead in Redeye). Miss Byrne is definitely still my first choice though.

Actually, I think she looks a lot like Byrne. And having seen McAdams act I can assure you that she would be great! More sinister and sardonic.

Gorgeous but not very exotic. Would work. Be a popular choice no doubt. She's quite hot at the moment.

Bond girl? Yes. But as Vesper? No.

She is attractive, and I for one would not kick her out of bed the next morning, but she is no Vesper.

Oh by the way, arm4life, the first Canadian Bond girl was Lois Maxwell, aka the first Moneypenny

McAdams is Canadian not American. She is cute, yes, but she has the kooky glint in her eye that suggests she might not be all there. I can see her playing the troubled Vesper who is beginning to crack near the end. I just wonder if she can do a passable British accent.
