Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Following the release of the teaser trailer on Monday, the first full, official trailer for No Time To Die — the 25th film in the long-running James Bond franchise — has dropped.
The trailer not only gives us our first in-depth look at the film but also our first glimpse at Academy Award-winner Rami Malek as the movie’s “Bond villain” Safin.
Despite an arduous production process that saw one director (Danny Boyle, Steve Jobs) walk away from the project and saw star Daniel Craig once say he’d rather “slit his wrists” than play 007 again, the film ultimately came together and now will attempt to send off Craig with the farewell he deserves.
Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (know for his work on the first season of True Detective), No Time To Die — the first Bond film since 2015’s Spectre — sees Daniel Craig suit up as the legendary MI6 secret agent 007 for the last time.
In addition to Craig and Malek, No Time To Die also stars Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q, Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner, Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, Léa Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, Ana de Armas as Paloma, and Lashana Lynch as Nomi.
Furthermore, the trailer confirmed the long-running rumor that Christoph Waltz’s Spectre character Ernst Stavro Blofeld will be returning in the film.
No Time To Die will hit theaters in the United Kingdom on Thursday, April 2 before being released in the United States on Wednesday, April 8, 2020.
