Bond’s dastardliest foe, Mr. Coronavirus, scuppered No Time to Die‘s ambition to become the most financially successful film in the franchise’s history. But can this 25th film, which marks the fifth and final performance by Daniel Craig in the lead role, save cinema itself?
It certainly had a tricky gestation, with director Danny Boyle and writer John Hodge departing thanks to our old chum ‘creative differences’, Jane Eyre director Cary Joji Fukunaga coming on board, and writer-of-the-moment Phoebe Waller-Bridge adding a script polish. The story has 007 plucked from retirement to join the search for an abducted boffin. Freddie Mercury himself (Rami Malek) performs bad guy duties, while Ana de Armas (last seen in Knives Out) and Lashana Lynch are cast in the roles that would, in less enlightened times, be described as Bond Girls.
