After taking a quick break from shooting blockbuster films to go nude in the indie abduction-thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed, British actress Gemma Arterton is ready to return to tent-pole movie-making. The 24-year-old up-and-comer is said to be in negotiations to star in director Barry Sonnenfeld’s soon-to-start-shooting Men in Black 3-D.

Arterton is reportedly up for the part of a 1960’s MIB secretary serving under the organization’s head (to possibly be played by Alec Baldwin). Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reprise their roles as Agent Jay and Agent Kay.  Josh Brolin and Emma Thompson costar.

Arterton first caught moviegoers attention as James Bond’s doomed love interest Strawberry Fields in 2008’s Quantum of Solace. Since then she’s played female leads in Warner Bros. remake of Clash of the Titans and in Michael Bay’s epic video game adaptation Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Alice Eve is in talks to star opposite John Cusack (2012) and Luke Evans (Immortals) in director James McTeigue’s (V for Vendetta) Edgar Allan Poe based thriller The Raven.

Set in 1849 Baltimore, The Raven follows author Edgar Allan Poe (Cusack) as he attempts to rescue his wife (Eve) from a serial killer who is tailoring his murders to match the deaths found in the novelist’s most popular books. Evans plays the detective Poe teams up with for help.

Eve recently landed the female lead in director David Brooks’ upcoming  feature film debut ATM. She was originally set to star in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: First Class, but lost the part to “Mad Men’s” January Jones.
