After multiple delays and plenty of rumors about its release plan, MGM and EON have finally confirmed that Daniel Craig's hotly awaited James Bond swan song No Time to Die will indeed arrive on schedule, opening exclusively in theaters at the end of next month. Now, we have a pair of action-packed final trailers which preview a little of what's to come.
No Time to Die will premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on September 28, followed by its U.K. launch on September 30. It will then open in the United States and the rest of the world on October 8.
Despite the delays, plot details still remain mostly under wraps, but the story is said to pick up five years after Spectre, with James Bond having retired from active duty. However, his peace is short-lived as he's forced back into action when Felix (Jeffrey Wright) seeks his help in tracking down a missing scientist, which results in him uncovering a danger unlike any he - or the world - has ever faced before.
Cary Joji Fukunaga (Maniac; True Detective) is directing with a screenplay he wrote with contributions from Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Scott Z. Burns and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
In addition to Craig (Casino Royale; Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre), the film will also see the return of Ralph Fiennes (M), Naomie Harris (Moneypenny), Léa Seydoux (Madeleine Swann), Ben Whishaw (Q), Rory Kinnear (Tanner), Jeffrey Wright (Felix) and Christoph Waltz (Blofeld). Newcomers to the franchise will include Academy Award-winner Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody), Golden Globe-nominee Ana de Armas (Knives Out), Billy Magnussen (Game Night), Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel), Dali Benssalah (Flash) and David Dencik (Quicksand).
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
