Helen Flanagan

Helen Flanagan could be on the verge of becoming a Bond Girl.

The actress is believed to have met with casting directors in Los Angeles as casting for Bond 24 gets under way.

Daniel Craig is set to reprise the role of 007 for what will be his fourth film, while Sam Mendes is back in the director's chair.

And it seems that the meeting between Flanagan and the casting directors did go well.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They felt she had a unique look, great figure and natural charm on screen."

But Flanagan is not the only actress to have been linked to this role, as it is believed that Kate Upton is also in the running for the part.

This will be the first Bond outing since the mammoth success of Skyfall last year.

Craig will not be the only familiar face returning as Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris are believed to be reprising their roles of Q and Miss Moneypenny.

Skyfall was the most successful Bond movie of all time as it went on to gross in excess of $1 billion at the global box office.

For a while it looked like Mendes would not be back in the director's chair, but he will be teaming up with Craig for the third time.

Bond 24 is released October 2015.
