WHAT IF ...? SEASON 1 EPISODE 4 REVIEW
It's the 25th official Bond movie, and Craig's fifth cinematic outing as the iconic superspy since 2006. Tuesday's trailer reminds us that No Time to Die will carry on plot threads from 2015's Spectre, which introduced love interest Madeleine Swann and Christoph Waltz's Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
In addition to Craig as James Bond, No Time to Die also stars Rami Malek as the villain Lyutsifer Safin, Léa Seydoux as Bond's love interest Dr. Madeleine Swann (from Spectre), Lashana Lynch as the new secret agent Nomi who takes over 007 after Bond retires, Ben Whishaw as the MI6 quartermaster Q, Ralph Fiennes as MI6 chief M, Naomie Harris as M's secretary Eve Moneypenny, Jeffrey Wright as Bond's CIA friend Felix Leiter, Christoph Waltz as the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld (from Spectre), Ana de Armas as CIA agent Paloma, Rory Kinnear as M's chief of staff Bill Tanner, Dali Benssalah as the mercenary Primo, David Dencik as the scientist Valdo Obruchev, and Billy Magnussen as CIA agent Logan Ash.
THE KINGS MAN NEW RED BAND TRAILER
Daniel Craig's final outing as 007 sees everyone's favorite secret agent out of active service and enjoying some time out in Jamaica. However, his peace and quiet doesn't last for long thanks to the CIA needing Bond's help to rescue a kidnapped scientist. And, of course, there's new villain Safin, played by Rami Malek. The new trailer teased some more insight into Safin's motivations, as well as his connections to Bond's love interest Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux).
The trailer featured some new footage, as well as flashbacks to previous Bond movies starring Craig, but there weren't any big spoilers or reveals that would warrant its swift removal from social media. It does a good job of hyping us up for Craig's last big-screen appearance as Bond, though. "Every mission, every sacrifice, has led to this," the trailer's text reads. "Nothing can prepare you for the epic conclusion."
SPIDER MAN NO WAY HOME TRAILER REVIEW
Behind the scenes, Cary Joji Fukunaga directs No Time To Die, off a screenplay he contributed to alongside Neal Purvis & Robert Wade, Scott Z. Burns, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. No Time to Die underwent a troubled development, with original director Danny Boyle and writer John Hodge exiting due to creative differences. Fukunaga was hired post that. The script also had multiple drafts, with The Bourne Ultimatum's Burns and Fleabag creator Waller-Bridge being brought in for different reasons. No Time to Die was originally slated for April 2020, but due to COVID-19, it's been delayed multiple times — first to November 2020, then to April 2021, and now its current slot.
