James Bond 007

Daniel Craig grateful for chance to cap off 15-year run playing James Bond

Nearly 60 years after the first Bond film Dr No premiered, cinema's favourite spy, known for his love of fast cars and cool gadgets, returns in the highly anticipated 25th Bond movie next week after an 18-month delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Costing an estimated $US200 million ($NZ285m) to produce, No Time To Die sees Bond come out of retirement from an idyllic life in Jamaica to help track down a new villain armed with lethal technology.
