You are her!” (Source: cinemaretro.com)

As we know the role of Miss Moneypenny was not cast in the following Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace but Penny is coming back... and her character is completely new! No more "Mind the Desk" for Miss Moneypenny!!! In Skyfall, actress Naomie Harris "plays a field agent operating under the name Eve, who later turns out to be Moneypenny. She teams up with Daniel Craig’s 007, which allows Naomie to show off her action skills — as well as her sultry side." (Source: The Sun, Oct. 21, 2012)
