She'd have been great, but she's great in everything. I'm glad Marceau got the role, though, because Marceau did a superlative job with the part of Elektra King. Belucci was one of the best parts of Spectre, too, and I really wish she'd been in it more. As to Tomorrow Never Dies, I'm glad she didn't get that part; it wasn't as memorable or interesting as either of the others, and Belucci deserves better.

I like Marceau, but I think Bellucci would have been a better fit for this role.

I think that would've worked fine. She's better-looking than Marceau, who did do a very good job.
