Rumor: Margarita Levieva being eyed as the next Bond Girl?

I think Kristen Stewart is a fairly attractive lady, but while watching Adventureland a few years ago I couldn't help but notice how she paled(literally) in comparison to Margarita Levieva, who played the lust object Lisa P. in the coming of age comedy. The Russian born actress has slowly been climbing her way up in status over the last few years, being the best part of two movies I don't particularly care for: The Invisible and Spread(opposite Ashton Kutcher). Recently she had a brief bit in The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey, but her biggest role could be right around the corner. One that would see her added to the long line of James Bond conquests.

The Mirror reports tha producers on Bond 23 are looking at Levieva to possibly play the next Bond Girl in the film, to be directed by Sam Mendes. They've reportedly asked about her availability at the time production is set to begin, likely around October. There's been no confirmation by any of Levieva's reps, but why in the world would she ever turn something like this down? Depending on how her character plays out, it may be a perfect opportunity to show off her athletic ability. She was a competitive gymnast from the age of three well into her teenage years. Hence the bangin' bod.

Bond 23 really appears to be picking up steam now, although it seriously needs a real title.  Daniel Craig will be returning as Bond, with Judi Dench reprising her role as M. Ralph Fiennes has a role we can't really specify, while Javier Bardem is set to play the villain. Naomi Harris will make her Bond debut as Moneypenny.
