All of the classic sensibilities of Bond are something that Emily Blunt would be exceptionally good at bringing to her performance. The characters high self-esteem, confidence in his objectives, easily understandable charm and intimidation are aspects that Blunt would be able to convey.

She is an excellent example of an actor who can play up to her English sensibilities. Appearing high-class and strong in stature, whilst simultaneously being likeable and charming is an aspect of Blunt that has defined her career. These factors would be great for Bond.

The actor also has a tonne of experience working with action, and it has always felt believable. Edge of Tomorrow, Sicario and A Quiet Place to name a few are perfect examples of when Blunt has been able to play roles that require believability in their physical abilities.

In addition to her skills as a performer and experience working in action projects, she has a very large presence and stardom in the film industry. Whilst this often isn't essential for Bond and can actually be more of a distraction for the casting, like Mulligan Emily Blunt's profile could work in the actors favour.
