  Oh I forgot she did have an affair with him didn't she?

  Clearly you haven't seen her on Layer Cake, do you?

  Actually, I have. As a druglord's babe, sure, she fits. I am not convinced as a Bond girl.

  If they are indeed looking for a British Bond girl, I'd cast my vote for Rebecca Hall or Alice Eve.

  Rebecca Hall? No. She's in a relationship with Mendes and the last thing he should be doing is directing his partner as a love interest to another man. Surely, him doing that a couple of times with Kate couldn't have been all that healthy.

  Personally I find Rebecca Hall incredibly unattractive.
  
  I'd vote for Karen Gillian, but I guess she may be a bit too young as well for Craig.

  that and also she does not have the right kind of beauty. Unlike Commander Ross I don't find her unattractive, but she is very very plain and while she is an amazing actress... She is no Bond girl material.

  Natalie Dormer would be awesome, if they could get her, but I guess she's booked up with both Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
  
  She's around Gemma Arterton's age, so is on the young side for Craig, but how about Hannah Tointon (The Hour)?
  
  If they need a German girl for a major role the next film or the one after, I'd love to see 38-year-old Eva Habermann (Lexx) get the part. She's still incredibly sexy/beautiful and charismatic.

  Bond films in the first half of the year, Game of Thrones the second. It can be done.

  Yes it can, but we'd need confirmation now. Or soon. And she has not been mentioned anywhere. I could most definitely see her as a Bond girl though.

  Renee Simonsen could've been a Jill Masterson-type.

  It doesn't matter, as long as they are actors. Too many Bond girls have been so wooden and monotone that they have actually detracted from the films they were in. Appearance is obviously a factor, but there are many fine actresses that look the part and can act.
  It may be time for a mature actress--say a Helen Mirren--to be the villain.

  Miranda Raison why well she has the looks and she can act and is the right age and has Eyes that you want to jump into and drown in plus she's English. And not to tall along side of DC used to be in BBC Spooks but I would not hold that against her.

  She would go the same way as Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg, if she was to be cast as a Bond girl. Pretty much unknown outside the UK, right age. Good choice.

  She meet old villian before http://www.imdb.com/media/rm903129344/nm0707214?ref_=nm_phs_md_2
  
  Mabey her Bond girl name should be Rosamund ;))

  no's 1,5,6 and 10 seem too young. All the others seem fine, with the exception of Marion Cotillard, she's exceptional and they should've hired her years ago!

  @HMBFF I'm glad to see you've choosen Number 4 to represent Brazilian women! Though, I'd stay with Fernanda Lima instead. She was almost selected to be Camille in QoS.

  what about a female 00 ? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's been done before.

  Might suit better this topic: http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/6601/the-bond-girl-as-a-character/p1
  
  I am somewhat against the idea. Not of having a female 00, but having her a Bond girl. First, that would be a redundant function: Bond IS the 00 in the plot, he is the one with the function of he hero with a mission, etc. Then because we already had many, many agents as Bond girls already, maybe to the point when it gets sometimes repetitive, even unimaginative.
  
  On a side note, I think we see a female 00 in TWINE briefly.

  Whoever suggested Natalie Dormer as a future Bond girl, I like your style. She's beautiful and I think she would make a wonderful addition to the series.

  I did. Well, I am not the only one, but I did suggest her. She is just the right age now: young enough to be in her prime, but old enough not to look like a lolita.

  @Ludovico, agreed, and on GoT, she's supposed to be playing a 16-17 year old, but I think she still looks a good deal older than that. I think she would do magnificently.

  I didn't realize that Number 8 on that list above, was also Brazilian. Paolla Oliveira would be a great villain. I know what I'm talking about, I watched a soap-opera back in 2009-2010, where she acted as one. ;)

  If we must believe the FHM Michelle Keegan should be English actres for the next Bond movie. She end second place as moost hansom woman (After Jennifer Lawrence) in the world, but highest Bristish actres in the list.

  Michelle Keegan! Hillarious. Don't think Mendes will be keen on that idea.
  
  Cottilard would have been great. An older woman, closer to Craig's age and a great actress.
  
  Who said Sienna Miller was not attractive? Total madness!

  I don't think Sienna Miller has the right beauty for a Bond girl. And I never thought she was that good an actress.
