Streep finally gets to play Bond! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pact

'bond' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'streep finally gets to play' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to play' becomes 'act' ('act' can be a synonym of 'play'**).
The final letter of 'streep' is 'p'.
'p'+'act'='PACT'

(Other definitions for pact that I've seen before include "Agreement, covenant" , "Alliance" , "International treaty" , "Agreement, bargain" , "Written agreement between two states" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
