They're girls no more.

The women inhabiting the 24th James Bond movie are just as complex as the guy holding the license to kill in director Sam Mendes' Spectre (in theaters Nov. 6). USA TODAY gets a sneak peek at the dossiers for the international female quartet who will complement Daniel Craig's 007:

LÉA SEYDOUX

Hometown: Paris

Age: 30

Also known as: Madeleine Swann

Her brush with Bond: The doctor daughter of an assassin, Swann comes into contact with Bond at her Austrian clinic, and while there is a spark between them, their first meeting is abrupt, to say the least. "He comes to find her," Seydoux says, "and she doesn't want anything to do with him."

Where you've seen her before: Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol (2011), Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

 

MONICA BELLUCCI

Hometown: Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy

Age: 50

Also known as: Lucia Sciarra

Her brush with Bond: Bond arrives in Italy looking for information from the widow, whose Mafioso husband has been murdered — a fate that might be waiting for her as well. "She comes from a man's world," Bellucci says. "But when the attraction between them takes place and she realizes her feminine power on him, then she trusts him to save her."

Where you've seen her before: The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Brothers Grimm (2005), Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

 

NAOMIE HARRIS

Hometown: London

Age: 38

Also known as: Eve Moneypenny

Her brush with Bond: Moneypenny was a young and very green MI6 agent in 2012's Skyfall, and the events of the film — in which she nearly killed our favorite British superspy by accidentally shooting him — "made her reassess what she was doing as a profession and what she wanted to do with the rest of her life," Harris says. In Spectre, "she wants to support in a different way. There's a maturity in that decision and a groundedness you see with her."

Where you've seen her before: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013), Southpaw (in theaters Friday)

 

STEPHANIE SIGMAN

Hometown: Obregon, Sonora, Mexico

Age: 28

Also known as: Estrella

Her brush with Bond: Sigman would love to say, but she's sworn to secrecy about pretty much everything involving her character, including her last name. But when it comes to Estrella's personality, "there's a lot of Stephanie in her. She's a lot like me," the Hollywood newcomer says. "We like to have fun and we're joyful people. I found her really easy to play and go with the flow and just be me."

Where you've seen her before: Miss Bala (2011), Pioneer (2013), TV's The Bridge (2013-2014)
