One quality that the successful Vanessa Kirby brings to all of her roles is a sense of class.

Whilst in some cases this is used to portray a snobby posh character, it can also be used to create an essence of eloquence. Kirby is a master at flicking between these two perceptions, and the latter is one that she could employ to make a version of Bond that exemplifies the British spy fantasy.

Making her character ultimately classy and high stature would lend a tonne of credibility to the antics that 007 could be capable of. It would be easy to understand how she could charm and manipulate people around her into helping, in a similar vein to how every other Bond has done.

Regarding her work as an action star, whilst she has appeared in the Mission Impossible franchise, we have yet to see what she is capable of physically. Thanks to this the stunt coordinators would have a completely blank slate to build upon and could create a new action star.
