We guess full judgment will have to be reserved until Quantum of Solace hits theaters in November. For now, though, it appears as though Olga Kurylenko was a solid choice as the next Bond Girl.
This bikini photo from Loaded Magazine helps make that case:
Having just heard from Gemma Arterton, here's an interview with Olga Kurylenko about her character in the next James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.
Tell us a little bit about Camille.
Olga Kurylenko: She is a strong, feisty, independent woman. She is out there on her mission, driven by revenge.
How deep is her relationship with Bond?
Kurylenko: Well in the beginning they come as opponents, but at a certain point they have to collaborate. They go through a lot of things together.
How did you get the role?
Kurylenko: First I went for general casting in Paris, then I got invited for an audition in London, then I did the final audition with Daniel [Craig]. I just worked very hard. I worked non-stop with an accent coach because I have to speak with a South American accent, as she's from Bolivia.

Olga Kurylenko appears ready to tackle the role of Bond Girl.
The actress has experience with both nudity and adventure, having appeared in the 2006 movie Le Serpent. In it, Kurylenko portrays a model who gets caught up in a blackmail plot... that also involves full frontal nudity and bondage scenes.
At least she won't be shy about doing whatever Daniel Craig wants in Bond 22.

Actress and Ukrainian model Olga Kurylenko is the latest addition to the cast of the Bond 22 (most likely to be renamed 007).
Kurylenko will be joining returning stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench (M), Jeffrey Wright (Felix Leiter) and Giancarlo Giannini (Mathis) in the movie.
In recent weeks, Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) and relative newcomer Gemma Arterton has been leaked as the new villain and Bond girl (an MI6 agent), respectively.
Commenting on the casting, series producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said in a statement:
"We are fortunate to continue in the Bond tradition of attracting the finest international actors for our starring roles. Mathieu in the role of Dominic Greene, a leading member of the villainous organization introduced in Casino Royale, will be a powerful counterpart to Daniel's portrayal of Bond."
"Olga Kurylenko will play the dangerously alluring Camille," they continued. "Who challenges Bond and helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper's betrayal."
