Jessica Chastain wants to play a Bond villain

Jessica Chastain is one sexy punk-rock queen on the cover of W Magazine. She had said she’d had “enough of the graceful characters”.

As for Chastain, the Oscar nominated actress is now sitting comfortably at the top of both the US and United Kingdom box office with her latest film The Martian, which sees her team up with Ridley Scott and Matt Damon. Rosa had since become the subject of parody when Mike Meyers created Frau Farbissina (Mindy Sterling) for the Austin Powers films.

Considering the upcoming release of Spectre, it’s no surprise she’s been asked if she would like to star in a Bond film.

“They rarely say that about men”, she notes. She wants to be Dr. No. She wants to be Goldfinger. “That’s something I would really love to do, and I’d also like to play Catherine the Great of Russian Federation”. What do you think of her high-fashion makeover? And I’m excited. I hope to do even more!

Jessica Chastain being a Bond villain would definitely mark a step forward for equality, something that Salma Hayek has been championing. While there has been a lot of attention on which actor should replace Daniel Craig as James Bond, we are more interested in looking at which actress should play a future Bond Girl. “I would have fainted without them”, she tells the magazine.

According to Just Jared, Jessica Chastain spilled a few beans about her long-time boyfriend. She wants to be The Woman With the Golden Gun.

In between modeling adventurous new looks-all anchored with a few bold, painted-on brows-Chastain talks in the profile about her career goals, including one very different kind of Bond girl.

The award-winning Crimson Peak, Interstellar and Zero Dark Thirty veteran would make a fantastic antagonist to 007, so don’t go suggesting any Bond Girl roles.
