Bond: 10 Actresses Who Should Be 007
7. Gugu Mbatha-Raw
This fast-rising star has been making a good impact on the film industry, playing some excellent roles in well-known projects. Most notably having a memorable outing in the wildly popular Black Mirror episode San Junipero, and proving herself to be a likeable actor.
Further from her performance in this anthology show, she has had a host of high-class projects in her repertoire, including projects such as Concussion, Belle and Beauty & The Beast. Her star power is only beginning to grow and has not reached the peak that it has to potential to yet. Being the first woman to take on the Bond role could help to make that happen and bring her directly into the forefront of mainstream audiences consciousness.
Her acting has always felt believable and enthralling. By using her likeable charm, combined with her strong ability to be stern and honest she would make a 00 agent that many would buy as a threat.
