There’s no question that Sydney Sweeney is one of the most popular actresses on the planet. And, yes, anyone who follows her Instagram account, or has seen her in The White Lotus,\u00a0or Anyone But You, will agree she often looks like she could be on the cover of an old pulp paperback. In fact, imagining Sweeney on the cover of a James Bond novel from the 1950s, or in the\u00a0007 movie poster art of Robert McGinnis<\/a>, feels perfectly natural.<\/p>\n

From sex appeal to the ability to sell an action role combined with real drama and pathos, Sweeney can do it all. (Immaculate\u00a0alone is proof she’s got range.) So, it makes sense that rumors are circulating that\u00a0Sweeney could be the next Bond Girl. From tabloids like\u00a0The Sun<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Cosmo\u00a0in the U.K<\/a>., rumors suggest that Sweeney is not only in talks to star in the next James Bond movie but that she and director Denis Villeneuve are friends.<\/p>\n

Even if there’s truth to these rumors \u2014 and there might be \u2014 there is one catch in the idea of Sweeney joining the next James Bond movie. As perfect as it might sound, we have no idea yet who is playing Bond, meaning, it’s unclear if that chemistry even makes sense. While many, many beautiful and talented actresses have starred opposite the various Bonds on screen, many of those films live and die by the onscreen chemistry, or lack thereof.<\/p>\n

Roger Moore and Barbara Bach in The Spy Who Loved Me? Amazing. Ditto Daniel Craig and the incredible Eva Green in Casino Royale.\u00a0But, perhaps the less said about Pierce Brosnan and Denise Richards in The World is Not Enough, the better. (Both great actors, by the way!)<\/p>\n

So, when we think of Sweeney in a Bond movie, aesthetically, it seems perfect. But it doesn’t answer the question of chemistry.<\/p>\n

And, perhaps even more importantly, there’s no reason to believe that if Sweeney ended up in a Bond movie, she’s reappearing in another. Bond Girls tend not to show up in sequels, unless we’re talking about Moneypenny or Madeleine Swann. If\u00a0Sweeney is in the new James Bond movie, she’s almost certainly going to only appear once. And, both Sweeney fans and for Bond fans, will that really be enough?<\/p>\n

The next James Bond movie from Amazon\/MGM is currently in production.<\/p>\n
