Rachel Weisz Might Play Villain In Next Bond Movie

rachel_weisz1

There are few things that more firmly establish a woman's hotness than getting cast in a Bond movie. Denise Richards? Okay. Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones? Gorgeous.  In the past, Bond girls have always been stuck with supporting roles. It seems that might be changing, however; there rumors that the villain of the next Bond film will be a woman, and the criminal mastermind of Quantum, those evil-doers who've been responsible for so much mischief in the previous films.

Cinemablend is reporting that Rachel Weisz is the prime candidate under discussion for Bond 23: Still At It (or whatever the hell they're going to call it), but a few other names have popped up as well, Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto and Olivia Wilde among others.

Now, Weisz is not a bad candidate. She's proven herself in big budget films, and if she needs advice on how to be twisted, she can always ask her husband, Darren Aronofsky. But, if she doesn't get the bit, here are a few recommendations of our own:

Sandra Bullock

If she really wants to prove her Oscar-winning range, let's see her play a British supervillain

Marion Cotillard

We know can sing, we know she can act, but can she be EVIL?

Melanie Laurent

If she can help burn down a theater full of Nazi's, I'm sure she'll give Bond a tough time.

Michelle Pfeiffer

She made a great Catwoman. Plus, she definitely needs a job!

My vote is for Melanie Laurent.

Well Marion Cotillard is the most beautiful for sure, and for the same reason maybe I don't want to see her as a villain. Rachel Weisz—also too sweet and beautiful. We'll see!

Marion Cotillard would make a fantastic Bond girl, but it probably won't happen for Bond 23 because of scheduling conflicts with Chris Nolan's 3rd Batman movie (she's playing Selena Kyle/Catwoman). It's going into preproduction this fall and starts shooting early next year. Ironically, Rachel Weisz was in the running to play Catwoman as well.

Marion all the way. Sandra Bullock would be as evil as a bitter babysitter.

Cotillard is a 9/11 AND Man-on-the-Moon conspiracy theorist. https://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23456699/ I don't know if she can do "evil," but she certainly can do "batshit crazy."
