For some time ago, Cate Blanchett was the premium candidate to play a Bond villain. This doesn't surprise us. Starring a role of a villain is nothing new to her, as we could see her in Thor Ragnarok, starring the role of Hela.
In recent years, Cate shown that nothing is impossible for her in the world of acting. Elf in a fantasy movie? Sure as hell. A villain in a blockbuster? Definitely. An action movie heroine? She can pull off even that.
Therefore, we believe that Cate Blanchett would be the perfect candidate for the role of female James Bond. However, the only thing preventing her from reaching that goal is her age, as she turned 53 this year, and playing 007 would require a multi-year contract encompassing several films. I don't think that Cate is ready for the hardships and effort that involve such a choice.
Perhaps, however, by involving her in this project, the creators could decide to slowly pass the stick to a younger actor or actress as the new Bond series develops. Cate Blanchett as a mentor to the new British agent? I'm in.
