British newcomer Gemma Arterton has been cast as the new Bond girl for the latest installment of the James Bond franchise, which is currently shooting in London, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie, which has the working title of Bond 22, marks Daniel Craig's second turn as James Bond. Swiss-raised filmmaker Marc Forster (The Kite Runner, Stranger Than Fiction) is directing the Columbia Pictures/MGM production.

Rumors of the casting had been making the rounds for the last couple of weeks, but it was officially confirmed today by the film's producers as well as Arterton's agent. Details of Arterton's character, known as Fields, were not available, but a representative for the film's Los Angeles-based producer, Danjaq Prods., said "it's a nice-sized role."

Arterton's credits include the recently released comedy St. Trinian's opposite Colin Firth and Rupert Everett.
