It’s been one heck of a road to get here, but folks, we did it: No Time to Die is finally upon us. The 25th Bond movie sees the return of Daniel Craig as 007, his first time back in the role since 2015's Spectre. Following the events of that film, No Time to Die picks up in the aftermath of Bond leaving active service, enjoying the quiet life in Jamaica until "his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.”
There’s lots to be excited about in Craig’s last turn as the iconic cinematic superspy. For one thing, the film marks the entry of True Detective, Maniac, and Beasts of No Nation director Cary Joji Fukunaga to the franchise, with Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge lending a hand on the script. Along with Craig, No Time to Die stars Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes, Rory Kinnear, Ana de Armas, Dali Benssalah, David Dencik, and Billy Magnussen. Oh, and plan your bathroom breaks because it clocks in at an epic 2h 43m runtime.

Is This Daniel Craig’s Last Bond Movie?
After fifteen years in the role, Craig’s time as Bond has come to an end. No Time to Die has been widely publicized as Craig’s final 007 performance, and both the actors and franchise producers have spoken openly about what it means to say goodbye to his tenure as the characters.
In a heartfelt No Time to Die wrap speech, Craig told his cast and crew:
“A lot of people here worked on five pictures with me, and I know there’s a lot of things said about what I think about these films or all of those whatever. But I loved every single second of these movies, and especially this one, because I got up every morning, and I’ve had the chance to work with you guys. And that has been one of the greatest honors of my life.”
Meanwhile, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli said in a recent interview that they are in no hurry to find Craig's replacement:
"We want Daniel to have his time of celebration. Next year we’ll start thinking about the future.”
