* BrainyBrunette: She usually plays these types of characters.
* HollywoodOld: Played Hypatia in the film ''{{Film/Agora}}'' when she was nearly forty (but of course is OlderThanTheyLook). Even when Hypatia is sixty towards the end.
* HotScientist: A lot of her roles have her playing this, or else a HotLibrarian.
* IAmVeryBritish: She'll usually posh up her voice just a little on-screen, but she actually has this type of accent in real life.

* BrainyBrunette: She usually plays these types of characters.
* HollywoodOld: Played Hypatia
ActorAllusion:
** She's played a doctor involved
in the film ''{{Film/Agora}}'' when she was nearly forty (but of course is OlderThanTheyLook). Even when Hypatia is sixty towards the end.
* HotScientist: A lot of her roles have her playing this, or else
a HotLibrarian.scientific experiment in ''Chain Reaction'' and ''Film/TheBourneLegacy''.
** She's a PosthumousCharacter in ''{{Film/Constantine}}'' and ''Film/TheConstantGardener''.

* IAmVeryBritish: She'll usually posh up AwesomeDearBoy: ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'''s script came through her agent. Jumping at the chance to play a WickedWitch, she lobbied hard for it.
* CelebrityVoiceActor: As the
voice of Saphira in the film version of ''{{Film/Eragon}}''.
* CreatorBacklash: Both she and husband Creator/DanielCraig - as well as director Jim Sheridan - disowned the film ''Film/DreamHouse'' and refused to promote it.
* TheDanza: She played characters named Rachel in ''Film/AboutABoy'' and ''Film/MyCousinRachel''.
* DeletedRole: She filmed scenes for the film ''To the Wonder'' but they ended up cut.
* DoingItForTheArt: Agreed to work on ''Film/TheFountain'' at a reduced rate, just because of Creator/DarrenAronofsky's enthusiasm for the project.
* DyeingForYourArt: Cut all her hair off for her role as a cancer patient in ''Film/TheFountain''. She also dyed her hair platinum blonde for ''Beautiful Creatures''.
* FakeAmerican: Has played Americans sometimes, as she's able to slip into an American accent fairly easily. She plays an American in ''Film/TheFountain'' but uses her natural voice when playing Queen Isabella of Spain (ItMakesSenseInContext).
* HollywoodOld: At only the age of forty she played Hypatia at the age of sixty in ''{{Film/Agora}}''.
* TheOtherDarrin: Maria Bello replaces her as Evey for ''Film/TheMummyTombOfTheDragonEmperor'', due to Rachel not wanting to move to China to film (after having just given birth).
* PlayingAgainstType:
** One of her most famous roles - Evey in ''The Mummy'' is an example. Although she's smart, like Rachel's usual types, she's also a CuteClumsyGirl who's pretty much TheFool as well. By the second film, Evey has matured, and she's within Rachel's type.
** She plays a snobby RichBitch type in ''Stealing Beauty''.
** And in ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' she plays the Wicked Witch of the East. She had to really lobby for the role, as Sam Raimi didn't think she was right for it.
* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: In ''{{Film/Constantine}}'' she plays twins Angela and Isabelle Dodson.
* StarMakingRole: ''The Mummy'' brought her to national attention, and her Oscar win for ''Film/TheConstantGardener'' solidified it.
* ThrowItIn: One scene in ''Film/TheConstantGardener'' was just the cinematographer following Rachel interacting with locals in Kibera.
* TypeCasting: Usually as a strong intelligent lady - a scientist, librarian or else
just a little on-screen, but very smart and responsible type.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** She's been up for a few roles that Cate Blanchett ended up playing - such as Daisy in ''Film/TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton'' and Marion in ''Film/RobinHood2010''. She was also in the running for Catwoman and [[Comicbook/TaliaAlGhul Miranda Tate/Talia]] in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. She was also considered for Creator/KateHudson's StarMakingRole in ''Film/AlmostFamous''.
** As a teen model at 14,
she actually has got a bit of public attention for turning down what would have been her first acting role in the Richard Gere film ''Film/KingDavid''. As the film ended up being a BoxOfficeBomb that was trashed by critics, she may have seen potential trouble. According to [[https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/10/15/t-magazine/rachel-weisz-acting-movies.html this type article]], she was up for the role of accent King David's daughter... who gets raped by her brother, who is in turn murdered by another brother as revenge. So it's understandable if she and her parents had misgivings. (In the final film, David's daughter appears very briefly and the first crime is mercifully offscreen).
** Her character in ''Film/TheMummyReturns'' (Evie's past life) was originally called Nefertiti, after a
real life. life Egyptian queen. Not wanting audiences to laugh at the name, they changed it to Nefertiri.
** ''Film/TheLovelyBones'' filmed the subplot from the book where Abigail has an affair with the detective investigating Suzie's murder (which accounts for the chemistry between them in one scene). The whole subplot ended up cut.
