And, of course, there are some high profile 007 newcomers as well, including Oscar-winner Rami Malek as antagonist Safin and Captain Marvel\u2019s Lashana Lynch as a brand new 00 agent.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the full list of who will be starring in the long-awaited film, and where you might have seen them before.<\/p>\n
Daniel Craig plays James Bond<\/h2>\n ![\""NO\"]( "\\"\"NO\\"")
<\/div> MGM<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\nWho is James Bond? <\/strong>The iconic double-00 agent is one of the most famous characters in film history \u2013 a British secret service agent working for MI6 under the codename 007. At the start of No Time To Die, we find Bond in a somewhat different situation than we\u2019re used to: retired to Jamaica with love interest Madeleine Swann.<\/p>\nWhat else has Daniel Craig been in?<\/strong> In addition to the four previous Bond films, Craig has starred in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Layer Cake, Steven Speilberg drama Munich, sci-fi western Cowboys & Aliens and Steven Soderbergh\u2019s Logan Lucky. He played the role of detective Benoit Blanc in Rian Johnson\u2019s hit murder-mystery Knives Out and will reprise the role in its upcoming sequel.

Rami Malek plays Safin<\/h2>\n ![\""Safin\"]( "\\"\"NO\\"")
<\/div>\nWho is Safin? <\/strong>Safin is the main antagonist of the new film and has been described as a terrorist leader on a revenge mission. Producer Barbara Broccoli said that he \u201creally gets under Bond\u2019s skin\u201d and is a \u201cnasty piece of work\u201d, while, in Malek\u2019s words, he considers himself \u201cas a hero almost in the same way that Bond is a hero\u201d.<\/p>\nIn a 2020 interview with GQ<\/a>, Malek added, \u201cWhen I think about Safin I think about someone who is meticulous but measured, and there is something about that that is really unnerving and unsettling.<\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s someone that at times I feel gives you the sensation that you\u2019re being watched and that again is quite unsettling. He asks you to question what you think is right, what you think is wrong and is your interpretation of those two things as accurate as it seems to be?\u201d<\/p>\n
There have been some suggestions and rumours that Safin could in fact be an updated version of classic Bond villain Dr. No, although this has never been confirmed \u2013 and was recently denied by director Cary Joji Fukunaga.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Malek also said he sought assurance from director Fukunaga that his character wouldn\u2019t be portrayed as an Arabic-speaking terrorist.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great character and I\u2019m very excited,\u201d he told the Mirror<\/a>. \u201cBut that was one thing that I discussed with Cary. I said, \u2018We cannot identify him with any act of terrorism reflecting an ideology or a religion. That\u2019s not \u00adsomething I would entertain, so if that is why I am your choice then you can count me out\u2019. But that was clearly not his vision. So he\u2019s a very different kind of terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat else has Rami Malek been in?<\/strong> Malek is known for his breakout role on Amazon Prime\u2019s Mr Robot<\/a>, and also for his Oscar-winning portrayal of Freddie Mercury in 2018\u2019s Bohemian Rhapsody<\/a>. He has also starred in Netflix cartoon Bojack Horseman, crime flick The Little Things and sitcom The War At Home.<\/p>\nLashana Lynch plays Nomi<\/h2>\n ![\""NO\"]( "\\"\"NO\\"")
<\/div> MGM<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\nWho is Nomi? <\/strong>Nomi will be introduced as the new 007 in the film, which starts with Bond having retired from the secret service. She will then team up with Bond to fight back against antagonist Safin and his evil plot to kill millions.<\/p>\nWhat else has Lashana Lynch been in?<\/strong> While you may recognise her for her breakout role as Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel, English actor Lynch started out in film Fast Girls and has starred in British TV series Silent Witness, Death in Paradise, The 7:39 and daytime soap Doctors. Her first US role was as Rosaline Capulet in Shondaland\u2019s Still Star-Crossed.

The pair became romantically involved and she\u2019s rumoured to be the cause of some heartbreak in this follow-up instalment.<\/p>\nDaughter to the elusive Mr White, Swann helped Bond track down criminal gang SPECTRE. However, in the process, she was taken hostage by Blofeld before, fortunately, Bond rescued her.<\/p>\n
Seydoux has teased that we will see a different side of the character in this film. This time we\u2019ll have the chance to see what she\u2019s been through in her life, in her childhood, she explained in the first episode of the official No Time To Die podcast<\/a>. \u201cThe opening of the film is her as a young girl and we understand her roots, what she\u2019s been through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cAnd even the character, the way she\u2019s written is very different from Spectre. Spectre, it was more cold, there was more distance it was like I thought that you couldn\u2019t really relate to her in a way. She was kind of a mystery. And I think in this one she\u2019ll be more open and vulnerable, because she\u2019s in love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
What else has Lea Seydoux been in? <\/strong>Having first starred appeared in the Bond franchise in Spectre, French actor Seydoux has previously appeared in major Hollywood films including Inglorious Basterds, Robin Hood and Mission: Impossible \u2013 Ghost Protocol.

Past Daniel Craig-era baddies Le Chiffre, Dominic Greene, and Raoul Silva were all members of SPECTRE.<\/p>\nBlofeld\u2019s father, Hannes, adopted James Bond after he became an orphan. Feeling as if he\u2019d been usurped, Blofeld killed his father and faked his own death. Blofeld got the scar on his face after Bond and Swann blew up an explosive watch in his face.<\/p>\n
