With Christopher Nolan rumored to direct the next James Bond film, casting may be influenced by the director's frequent collaborators. As a result the next Bond girl may be an actress who has previously appeared in a Nolan film.
As stated in the first Bond girl preview the past three films have cast actresses who have little track record or are not recognized as international stars. However Nolan is known for choosing specific thespians.
At the top of the list stands Marion Cotillard who was on the previous Bond girl article. Cotillard has been cast twice by Nolan in "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises" as a damsel in distress. She has also played a similar role in Michael Mann's "Public Enemies" and has become a huge sex icon around the world with appearances in several fashion magazines. Additionally she is an Academy Award winner and her track record could help the film's box office. Finally she is French; most Bond girls have been foreigners in recent films.
Anne Hathaway has also become a Nolan muse as she starred in "The Dark Knight Rises" and is currently set to work on "Interstellar." The Academy Award winning actress has been known for her versatility and while she hasn't played a damsel in distress thus far, it could be interesting to see Hathaway in this type of role.
Jessica Chastain is about to star in her first Nolan film "Interstellar." She has been nominated for the Academy Award twice and has starred in several films in the past two years. Though she is not known as a sex symbol, she has been billed as the actress who can do anything because she is so versatile. It may be a long shot but her stardom is on the rise and a big tentpole film could easily bring her to an A list status.
Other actresses who are potential Bond girls include Rebecca Hall, Scarlet Johansson, and Piper Perabo who all worked on Nolan's "The Prestige."
Sony has not mentioned or confirmed any casting and whether or not Nolan will direct. As a result fans will have to wait and see if any of these women will be cast.
The last James Bond movie "Skyfall" became the most successful Bond movie ever made and received five Academy Award nominations and won second including Adele Adkin's Song "Skyfall."
Daniel Craig is slated to star in the next two Bond movies with Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw rumored to return to the series. John Logan is currently writing the new script.
