Could you imagine Yvonne Strahovski co-starring with Daniel Craig?

JohnMasterson

I honestly don't know if Yvonne could project some chemistry with Craig in front of the camera; or IF she would even be willing to co-star in a Bond film, but it's kind of interesting to think about...I mean Yvonne is a fairly attractive looking woman, (at least to me, she is) and she's just about the same height as Craig.

Strahovski is 5'9" [1.76 m] and Daniel is 5'10" [1.78 m]

The only issue might be the chemistry, which is something that's either there during the screen test from the get-go or it's not there at all---And audiences might take issue with the age gap. Yvonne is currently 30 years old and Craig is currently 44 years old.

She's gorgeous and I'd give her a chance. Hard to say if it would really work.

If Naomie Harris is not Miss Moneypenny, and if Yvonne Strahovski was willing to be the next Miss Moneypenny, I might like that.

I would like her in any role in a Bond movie. Preferably Bond girl!

I really, really, REALLY want to see Yvonne Strahovski with Daniel Craig in a James Bond film, but I think Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson might be overlooking her; just on the grounds that she's in Dexter with Michael C. Hall. (Which is stupid because the James Bond franchise is quite frankly BEYOND what Cubby Broccoli's old mentality was. You know, the mentality, that if you see an actor you like on TV, why would you pay your hard earned money to see her in a Bond film? And it's beyond Cubby's mentality because of Bond's longevity. James Bond is a legend, who's fifty years old now.)

But who knows if Yvonne Strahovski would even be interested in James Bond in the first place? It would be too good to be true if Yvonne is interested in Bond.

She worked with my favourite Bond, TD in CHUCK! That alone makes her eminently qualified IMO!

That's interesting Chrisisall. But what I really want to know is; if Yvonne would do a James Bond picture because she wants to, or if she would only do it for the paycheck. Because if she only does it for the paycheck then she might come across as wooden.

If you say so. I mean, I've only heard Yvonne's voice acting performance in Mass Effect 2, where she spoke with her natural speaking voice. I didn't see Chuck and I only saw clips of The Canyon on YouTube, I didn't actually sit down and watch The Canyon all the way through.

I don't quite see her in a Bond movie, especially next to Craig. She is too tall for Craig, making it imposible for her to wear high heels next to him. I also find it lazy casting to use someone who is best known for playing in a spy series on TV. I also don't think Yvonne Strahovski quite as pretty as a Bond girl should be, particullarely her mouth is a bit thin. She is obviously an atractive woman, but Bond's standards are exeptionally high. Last, but not least her acting isn't very good. Obviosly some of the parts in Bond movies don't require very good acting, but it's always a plus when actors and actresses have a lot to draw on in that department.
I'm a fan of Chuck and enjoy her there, but not in a Bond movie. I think actresses such as Laetitia Casta, Christina Hendricks and Freida Pinto are better choises.

She's lovely, but too young and too tall.

She is 30 - that's not too young.

But if Yvonne Strahovski was Miss Moneypenny, (If Naomie Harris is not Miss Moneypenny already) and Yvonne spent most of her time either sitting in a chair or standing away from Daniel Craig in a separate shot, wouldn't that be acceptable to you? By the way, none of the previous Miss Moneypennies have been exceptionally beautiful to me, but Yvonne could be the first one. Unless, they get somebody shorter who just so happens to be better looking than Yvonne for the part.

I also think that if Yvonne can't be Miss Moneypenny then she could possibly be one of the henchmen (or henchwoman) of the bad guy, and Daniel Craig has to deal with her. Maybe Craig deals with her a bit differently than Pierce Brosnan or Timothy Dalton would have.

Oh John, CHUCK is a must-see show! And even more so due to Timothy Dalton guesting in the final season!

Poor Yvonne! While I think she isn`t pretty enough to be Bond girl, she is too pretty to be Ms Moneypenny. Dammed if you do, dammed if you don`t ...
I belive Moneypenny should be charming and interesting, but no beauty. My favourites are Honeysuckle Weeks and Emily Mortimer.

I respectfully disagree. I think Moneypenny should be "desirable" as she was described in the Live and Let Die novel.
