Every mission has led to this. <\/p>

Daniel Craig\u2019s James Bond is set to go out with a bang if the final trailer for No Time to Die<\/a> is any indication.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve waited (and waited and waited) but Craig\u2019s swansong as 007 is finally set to be released in UK cinemas on 30th September, following a series of release date delays caused by production issues and the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n

Though there are no big reveals as such in the latest trailer (so we\u2019ll have to continue speculating about whether Rami Malek\u2019s villain Safin is really Dr. No<\/a> in disguise), we do get glimpses at some new footage from the movie, including a scene of Moneypenny (Naomi Harris), Q (Ben Whishaw) and new 00 agent Nomi (Lashana Lynch) in M\u2019s office, more of Bond\u2019s reunion with old foe Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) and some kick-ass action featuring CIA agent Paloma (Ana de Armas).<\/p>\n

No Time to Die will see Bond, retired following the events of 2015\u2019s Spectre, return to active duty after his friend and CIA officer Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) enlist his help in the hunt for a missing scientist.<\/p>\n

Soon, Bond encounters the villainous Safin (Rami Malek), who plots to kill millions and who appears to be in some way connected to 007\u2019s beloved Madeline Swann (L\u00e9a Seydoux).<\/p>

The film will mark Daniel Craig\u2019s fifth and final screen outing as 007, following Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).<\/p>\n

Cary Joji Fukunaga, director on No Time to Die, previously revealed he discussed potential replacements for Craig<\/a>\u00a0when it appeared the 007 actor had quit the franchise after sustaining an injury filming Spectre.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo years ago I took Barbara [Broccoli, producer] to my favourite Japanese restaurant in New York,\u201d Fukunaga told Total Film<\/a>. \u201cI tried to wine and dine her. At that point Daniel said he wasn\u2019t doing another one, so we spit-balled all the potential new Bonds \u2013 that was exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broccoli herself added that she and co-producer Michael G. Wilson would not be contemplating the future of the Bond franchise<\/a> \u2013 including who might play 007 next \u2013 until \u201cthe dust settles\u201d following the release of No Time to Die.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough to think about the future until this film has its moment,\u201d she said. \u201cI think we just really want to celebrate this and celebrate Daniel, and then when the dust settles, then look at the landscape and figure out what the future is.\u201d<\/p>\n
