Having a very manly role of an assassin, lead actress of "Atomic Blonde" Charlize Theron is now a rumored potential to be the first female James Bond in the hit franchise. Theron's co-star in "Snow White" and "The Huntsman" Chris Hemsworth started to tease the actress that she could beat the s**t out of him, putting her name on the list of potential players of the iconic James Bond role.
In an interview with the W Magazine, Hemsworth initially stated that Theron could be the first female 007 agent because she scares him. The actor also adds that Theron embodies a kind of strength, ability, dignity, and integrity that a James Bond character should have.
Hemsworth also adds that she (Charlize Theron) is also "smart as h*ll" and is physically able based on what he saw on the set of "Snow White and The Huntsman" where Theron fights in heels while wearing a dress.
Charlize Theron thoughts about James Bond
According to Theron in an interview with W Magazine, the main character Lorraine Broughton is a little bit like James Bond. This idea triggered the controversies on her playing the role as the first female James Bond.
The actress comments that her character drinks a lot of martinis too just like James Bond. She also adds that her character appears to be the rougher edge of James Bond, then ended up by stating that they are just messed up and she should be doing some research about them.
she also adds that the two (James Bond and Lorraine Broughton) should marry each other and that they should have a baby - which could really be interesting.
