These Three Beloved Actresses Are Reportedly the Favorites to Be the Next Bond Girl
While everything is still up in the air with the new Bond franchise, many believe actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be the next James Bond. But who will be the first Bond girl of this new series? Everyone is guessing who it could be. There’s really nothing known about the new franchise, but UK gambling sites and tabloids are making their guesses for who the next Bond girl could be: Michelle Keegan, Jodie Comer, or Kaya Scodelario.
Something to keep in mind is that there has been no official word on casting, but many have speculated that it could be one of these three actresses.
The Sun claimed that Keegan is the alleged frontrunner. For those who don’t know, she’s an actress who’s starred in shows like Coronation Street and Our Girl.
Express also claimed that she’s in the front-running as well.
Comer is most well-known for her starring role in Killing Eve, and for years now, people have wanted her to play James Bond rather than a Bond girl.
When asked about the possibility by LADBible, Comer said, “Ehm… when I’ve got Villanelle? Isn’t she her own Bond in a way? [with] A little bit of flavour on top. But no, look, never say [never], who knows what comes your way?”
The third biggest option is Scodelario, who is known for her starring role in Skins. In a previous interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden, alongside, Priyanka Chopra, they were both asked if they wanted to be a Bond girl. She said, “As a Bond Girl goes, I’d rather be the one that gets to finally kill Bond and doesn’t have to sleep with him. I think that’d be much more fun.”
No matter what happens, we’re just excited for a new franchise.
