The newest James Bond film, Spectre, features not one, not two, not even three prominent female roles… No, the new film features four women that will be added to the mix with stars such as Monica Bellucci, Lea Seydoux and, of course, Naomie Harris back as Eve Moneypenny and USA Today has four new images of each in the new film as well as some details on their run-ins with Bond (Daniel Craig) in advance of a new trailer that will be arriving tomorrow at midnight Pacific Time.
At the top of this post is Lea Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, a “doctor daughter of an assassin” who comes into contact with Bond at her Austrian clinic. “He comes to find her,” Seydoux says, “and she doesn’t want anything to do with him.”
Next is Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, the widow of a murdered Mafioso. “She comes from a man’s world,” Bellucci says. “But when the attraction between them takes place and she realizes her feminine power on him, then she trusts him to save her.”
Just below is Stephanie Sigman whom most will know from her role in the Oscar-nominated Miss Bala and she also has a role in John Michael McDonagh‘s next film, War on Everyone, but here she plays the mysterious Estrella and that’s all the information USA Today has to share, but we previously learned her character plays a role in the film’s opening sequence in Mexico City where Bond uses her hotel room to begin his hunt for an assassin named Sciarra. My assumption is she will only play a part in the film’s opening, just before the film’s opening credits play.
And last, but certainly not least, Naomie Harris as Eve Monneypenny and the USA Today description seems to suggest after the events in Skyfall she may soon be occupying a very familiar seat at MI6. Harris says those events “made her reassess what she was doing as a profession and what she wanted to do with the rest of her life.” In Spectre, “she wants to support in a different way. There’s a maturity in that decision and a groundedness you see with her.”
Stay tuned for the new Spectre trailer at midnight Pacific Time, the film arrives in theaters on Nov. 6.
