Bond is back. Courtesy of Twitter, fans got a peek on December 1, at a teaser from “No Time to Die.” The full trailer will be out on December 4, but first, United Artists is releasing never-before-seen posters from the upcoming film.
In this latest installment, Daniel Craig will reprise his role as 007 for the fifth and final time. Craig brings his franchise run to a close in “No Time to Die,” starring opposite Rami Malek. The Oscar winner plays Safin, the villain in the film. Christoph Waltz also makes a special appearance, returning as Blofeld from 2015’s “Spectre.”
Dali Benssalah, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, and David Dencik join the cast as well. Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Rory Kinnear, and Jeffrey Wright are also included in the ensemble.
Cary Joji Fukunaga, steps in as director, in place of Sam Mendes. Fukunaga is also credited as a writer, along with Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Scott Z. Burns, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
“No Time to Die” was filmed primarily in London and Jamaica, as well as in Norway and Italy. This marks the 25th James Bond film, which makes the return to Jamaica, nostalgically fitting. Both 1962’s “Dr. No,” and 1973’s “Live and Let Die” were filmed there.
The plot picks up with a retired Bond living on the island when his old friend from the CIA (Felix Leiter) comes asking for help. His mission is to rescue a kidnapped scientist, which, of course, doesn’t go as planned. Bond is then set on a path filled with adventure, mystery, and from what we can tell so far some pretty incredible stunts.
The movie hits theaters in 2020. “No Time to Die” premieres in the U.K. on April 3. The film makes its debut in the U.S. on April 8.
