The new James Bond film has finally arrived after a string of delays brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, and star Daniel Craig led the charge on the red carpet at the premiere.
Taking place in London on Tuesday night, the stars of the 25th Bond outing, including Rami Malek and Lashana Lynch, got glammed up for the cameras.
Main man Daniel made the right choice ditching the standard black tuxedo for the event, and looked stunning in a raspberry pink tuxedo jacket over a white shirt and black trousers.
He was joined by his leading lady Lashana Lynch who sported an equally bold yellow evening gown with a full skirt and a black petticoat.
Co-stars Rami Malek, the Bond villain this time around, Naomie Harris, who plays Miss Moneypenny, and Ana de Armas, who plays Paloma also scrubbed up well for the premiere.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, looked unbothered by the drizzle as they joined the A-list stars on the red carpet.Looking every inch a movie star herself the duchess wore a striking gold, floor length dress with a matching cape, while her other half opted for a smart black tuxedo.The royal couple posed on the stairs with Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.They rubbed shoulders with the likes of Dame Judi Dench, Stormzy, Jason Momoa and Michelle Yeoh.
No Time To Die is Daniel’s final turn as 007 and speculation is rife as to who will be stepping into his highly polished shoes.
Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has revealed the search for a new James Bond not only hasn’t started, but it won’t begin until 2022.
Barbara told Radio 4’s Today show: ‘We’re not thinking about it at all.
‘We want Daniel to have his time of celebration. Next year we’ll start thinking about the future.’
Eon Production head and Barbara’s half-sibling Michael G. Wilson added: ‘He’s been such a great Bond. Those are big shoes to fill. I can’t even [think if it’s] possible.’
Daniel has played the spy in four films so far – Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre, with the much delayed No Time To Die wrapping up his time as Bond.
The film, directed by Cary Fukanaga, sees a retired Bond called back into the field by friend Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) to search for a missing scientist.
After discovering the scientist has been abducted, Bond must confront a villain (Rami Malek) whose schemes could lead to the death of millions.
No Time To Die is in cinemas on September 30.
