Career

Green appeared on stage in Jalousie en Trois Fax (2001), for which she had been nominated for a Molière Award. She appeared in Turcaret (2002).

Green made her film debut in 2002 when director Bernardo Bertolucci cast Isabelle in The Dreamers (2003), which required her to act extensively in frontal nude scenes and rear nude scenes as well as graphic sex scenes. Green told The Guardian that her agent and her parents begged her not to participate in the film because of Schneider's traumatic involvement with Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris. Green said she felt well during the filming of the nude and sex scenes with Bertolucci's direction, but she was shocked when her family saw the film. Her appearance was well-received, and some even compared her to Liv Tyler. When a minute was cut from the film for the American market, Green expressed surprise, saying, "There's so much violence, both on the streets and on the film. They have no idea of it. However, I think they are scared of sex." Arsène Lupin (2005), she portrayed Lupin's love interest in his next film. Although she has stated that she generally likes more complex characters, she loved the light-hearted role.

Ridley Scott led Ridley Scott to perform Green in Kingdom of Heaven (2005), a film about the Crusades, in which she played Sibylla, Princess of Jerusalem. Green Green conducted six screen assessments and was hired only a week before principal photography was scheduled. Green found the atmosphere of being in possession of a film so late, emotional, and thrilling, and she loved the film's ambiguity in approaching its subject matter. A lot of her screen time was cut off due to her dissatisfaction. Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com praised her performance: "She doesn't exactly know what to do with her character's stilted dialogue, but she moves herself so comfortably that you barely notice." The BBC's Nev Pierce, on the other hand, referred to her as "limp." When her character's intricate subplot was revived in the director's case, Green was content. The new scenes ended her performance: "Prince Sibylla sleeps with Balian in the theatrical version, and then, more or less, loses her mind." We now know why. Sibylla does not have a young son, but when she discovers he has leprosy like her brother Baldwin, she decides to die shortly after he's been crowned king."

Green was considered for roles in The Constant Gardener (a role that went to Rachel Weisz) and The Black Dahlia. Vesper Lynd was in the role of Vesper Lynd in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale at the last minute. Green was threatened in mid-2005 but it was turned down. Principal photography was already underway, and director Martin Campbell said casting the role was difficult because "we didn't have the final script, and a Bond girl had the convocation of tits 'n' ass" from "n'. Campbell watched Green's appearance in the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven and then turned to Green. She read the script and found Vesper's character much deeper than those Bond girls. Green's appearance was well-received by Entertainment Weekly, as she was named the fourth best Bond girl of all time; IGN named her the best femme fatale; and she received a BAFTA and an Empire award for her work; and she was ranked as the fourth best Bond girl of all time. Both awards were chosen by the British people.

In the 2007 film version of The Golden Compass, Green portrayed witch Serafina Pekkala. Green wished that the book's religious themes would be preserved, but references to Catholicism were cut from the film. Green next appeared in Franklyn as the tormented artist Emilia (who Green compared to real-life figures Sophie Calle and Tracey Emin) and the enigmatic Sally, who she characterized as "full of life, with a strong sense of humor." She also starred in Cracks, Jordan Scott's debut directorial debut, where she plays Miss G, a teacher at a girls' school who falls in love with one of her students.

She was considered for the role in Un Secret (2007) by Cécile de France. In addition, she was first contacted for the female role in Lars von Trier's controversial film Antichrist (2009). Green was excited about being in the film, but her representatives refused to allow her. The film's pre-production process took two months. Charlotte Gainsbourg, an Anglo-French actress, was then cast in the role. Green later said that she liked Trier, but "we soon began talking about nudity and sex," she said. It's a bit too late,... It was my hope to work with him, but it was sad that it was on the film that it almost happened. I'm sure I'd been killed doing the movie.'

Green joined the United Talent Agency in the United States in 2011, remaining Tavistock Wood in the United Kingdom. Green appeared in the first season of Starz's series Camelot as the sorceress Morgan le Fay. "This is such a classic tale, and you have ten episodes to explore a character," Green said. It's not a girlfriend role you could have in a movie. It's a believable ballsy type. She has some guts. In Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, Green turned Johnny Depp's character into a vampire.

She appeared in Artemisia, the 300 sequel to the Rise of an Empire in 2014, for which she received acclaim. "The one bright spot is Eva Green, the Xerxes' machinator, is Artemesia, a raccoon-eyed warrior princess," Rafer Guzman wrote in his Newsday review, "she completely steals the show." "Rise of an Empire may have been essentially the same," Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice wrote, "but for one major difference that makes it 300 times better than its predecessor: the Mere mortals of Athens, Sparta, and every city from Mumbai to Minneapolis.

Green appeared in the Showtime horror drama series Penny Dreadful as Vanessa Ives from May 2014 to 2016. At the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, her appearance earned her a nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama.
