Naomie Harris says the character she plays in the new James Bond movie Skyfall sees herself as a female version of the iconic spy.

Speaking to Total Film about her mysterious character Eve, she said: "My character would like to see herself as a female Bond, but I don't think anyone's really a match for Bond."

Although Harris refused to give much away about the script and her character, she did state that using guns and action training was a big part of her role.

Harris said: "I kickbox and do a lot with guns. I started off terrified by the sound of a gun let alone having any idea how to hold one but now I really enjoy it.

"I started off yoga and running and I've also been doing stunt training and gyrotonics three times a week."

Skyfall, which sees Daniel Craig play James Bond for the third time, is released in cinemas in October.
