6. Nathalie Emmanuel

Nathalie Emmanuel is an actor best known for playing Missandei in the wildly popular Game of Thrones. This character had a significant role within the show and became gradually more central to the narrative as her time progressed. Emmanuel made this work incredibly well as she is a talented and easily watchable performer. This quality is something that could make a female Bond work.

Having also had major roles in Fast & The Furious and The Maze Runner series, Emmanuel is experienced in large scale action films. This time working on such projects gives the actor a sense of credibility within the realm of upscale destruction centric features. It would definitely carry over into her portrayal of Bond.

Ultimately, her energy has a great sense of sternness and severity to it. Even when playing more comic roles the actor comes across as someone not to take lightly. This blends perfectly with what we already know of the Bond persona.

Taking what already exists and adding a new spin to it is something that this talented performer would exceed in.
