(Photo: Getty Images)It's never too early to start speculating on who will join the hallowed ranks of Bond Girl fame, and a report from
Yahoo UK suggests
Penelope Cruz will be the next gorgeous woman to spar and/or sleep with
Daniel Craig in the follow up to
Skyfall.
Admittedly, with Sam Mendes set to stage version of
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory before he gets back behind the camera and an in-progress script, we're still a few years from
Bond 24. Which means whether or not Cruz makes it into the Bond Girl pantheon is still a 50/50 shot at best.
If Cruz does land the female lead in the next installment of the franchise, she'll be bucking
a lot of Bond Girl trends. She'll be the oldest Bond Girl at 40-something, will be one of the biggest names to be a Bond Girl, and will be the first Bond Girl from Spain. So what do you think: Is Penelope Cruz Bond Girl material?
