No Time To Die Just Won't Let James Bond Retire

Is it time to let James Bond hang up his tuxedo? No Time To Die usually think so.


The iconic 007 codename has been in service for decades, although the latest film is seemingly prepping for a new agent to take over. The opening full-length trailer for the upcoming spy flick just debuted on Wednesday, December 4, and it also seems we might be in for a very different take on the legendary Bond in future installments.


The movie takes place long soon following the events that unfolded in the previous flick Spectre, finding Bond (Daniel Craig) having retired from mobile service as an agent. He's since taken up a peaceful life in Jamaica, although that isn't meant to last.


As an alternative opposed to letting sleeping dogs lie, an old friend (Jeffrey Wright) recruit Bond to support him out with one last job – a rescue mission. The reluctant agent agrees, and soon finds himself tangling with a new villain, portrayed by Rami Malek.


However it looks like there's more brewing than just rescuing a scientist. There's a new 007 in town, and she's not also keen on seeing Bond coming out of retirement. The new agent, Nomi (Lashana Lynch) warns him to live in his lane once the pair cross paths.


"You get in my way, I'll put a bullet in your knee — the one that works," Nomi spits at Bond in the new footage, in a venom-laced tone. If Nomi is the future of the Bond franchise, she's going to prepare the role hers. We can only hope so, anyway.


No Time To Die looks like it's shaping up to be Daniel Craig's final appearance in franchise, so in case you hope to be able to see how everything shakes out, be sure to head out to the theater in April 2020.


A tux is optional, nevertheless a martini isn't.
