POLL: Who are your nominations for the next wave of Bond Girls?

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Threw this together after someone requested this poll in the New James Bond thread, so there hasn't been a ton of thought about this on my part. Historically, there are three categories of Bond girls - Femme Fatales, Sidekicks, and Sacrificial Lambs (so, you get two votes here given there are typically different standards for each archetype). I could probably do a poll for each one but simply don't have the time. Fortunately, some of these women work better as one category than the other.

My criteria based on historical use of Bond girls is that you have older established actresses, model/actresses, and relatively new actresses. I tried to mix in all three here. Let me know what you think, and of course, please share your write-in's (BWI Council of Elders will have flags at the ready for picture offenders!)! BONUS POINTS: Post who you voted for and give her/them a classic Bond girl name!

1. Emily Ratajkowski

2. Chanel Iman

3. Christina Hendricks

4. Alexandra Daddario

5. Alicia Vikander

6. Gal Gadot

7. Marion Cotillard

8. Genesis Rodriguez

9. Charlize Theron

10. Zoe Kravitz

I like exotic or unique looking gals for Bond. Something the separates, visually. But why is Daddario swimming naked with spikes on?

DOES IT MATTER???

I voted for Vikander (sidekick) and Rodriguez (sacrificial lamb). Also, I'm sort of stunned at how few blondes I ended up with.

With all due respect, that's a dumb question. Just dumb.

Obviously she simply forgot her bikini.

 

[91Joe95]

So many right answers, although Charlize and Zoe don't do a lot for me compared to the others. That said I could see Zoe pulling off the exotic role.

Margot Robbie


Amber Heard

Happy to see everyone get a vote! I love that Hendricks is holding her own in a very tough category.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Emily wins

Margot Robbie


Amber Heard

Robbie was the one I thought of after I completed the poll; she would be awesome.

 

[PSUriseANDfire]

It's a good poll when everyone receives votes. My other write-in would be Keira Knightley. She was my biggest Hollywood crush as soon as I watched PotC Black Pearl so I am biased there haha

She's good in every role though for the most part.

Oh, she's great - was fantastic in 'The Imitation Game' too and the best part about another movie I saw with her recently 'Begin Again' (with the criminally underrated Sam Rockwell). She reminds me of cuter, British Winona Ryder. And she's really malleable; can play the cutesy dork, or the full on vamp....

She is built like my nephew....lol. Great actress but not bond girl material.

I am in love with Daddario.

 

[LTFox14]

Robbie and Daddario good choices but how about for woman of mystery
Nora Arnezeder.

She is on Zoo. She was born in France.

 

[psuro]

I am going to go a different route, and nominate Frieda Pinto. She has captured my eye since Slumdog Millionaire.

I would cast her as a half Indian half Brit - Indian Mother and British father, and give her a name that captures both ethnic groups;

Preeti Wylde

I would cast her as a sidekick to Bond,

Not familiar with her but she's a stunner! Excellent choice!

Good choice. She's my former sig pic.

Oh, great choice! She was really great in some terrible Woody Allen movie a few years back too. Would love to see more Indian/Persian actresses in Hollywood.

Bump.
