That`s fine by me. Q will be in Skyfall, so there is no rush re-introducing Moneypenny. Perhaps McCrory`s MP is one of the politiians going after M when her past "comes back to haunt her"?

Maybe Albert Finney will be playing Moneypenny in drag

After this news, who will make you think that the role of Miss Moneypenny?

Martin Aston

oscar that's a question that nobody can answer. If Moneypenny is to be in this movie then there might be some indecision over the casting as this is quite a major role. We will just have to wait and see.

Didn't those online papers report that Eve is actually developed into Moenypenny during SkyFall?


Ah, here's a link. Unless they are wrong or misinformed?:

I just don't buy it. They're going to get an actress to play a good-sized role in one film as a gun-toting, butt-kicking secret agent; and then bring her back for about a minute of screen time in subsequent films and have her sitting behind a desk exchanging sexual double-entendres with Bond?

I'm with Hardy.

Besides, I would really take whatever pus the Daily Hate spews out of its putrid veins with a very small pinch of salt.

EDIT: Just noticed in the latest photos they've published from the filming, they have the caption... "Give it to me: Craig was joined by Naomie Harris who plays a field agent called M in the film" and later "The 28 Days Later star was thought to be taking on the role of Miss Moneypenny when the film was first announced but once her character's name was revealed, this speculation was laid to rest."
