Originally, the last James Bond movie was going to be released in 2020. Yet, the Covid-19 pandemic pushed the release date in the USA to October 8, 2021 for 'No Time To Die.' For Daniel Craig, it is his fifth and final Bond movie. The last Bond movie, 'Spectre;' was released in November 2015. Six years between the Bond movies is a long time, and the 25th Bond movie is an expensive movie. 'No Time To Die' has a budget of $250-$301 million; just like 'Spectre' did. In addition, 'Spectre' made $881 million worldwide at the box office. But, this Covid-19 pandemic has seen less people in the movie theaters. Luckily, James Bond has made $121 million already in the international box office. In today's box office world, the movie has to gross $400-$550 million to be a huge hit. 'Free Guy'; 'A Quiet Place Part II' and 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' are the big three summer movies which made more than twice of the film budget in 2021. 'No Time To Die' and 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' could compete for top two movies, at the box office in October 2021. Next, Daniel Craig got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in October 2021. His star is the 2,704th on the Walk of Fame. According to NBC News, Craig's star is fittingly next to the late Roger Moore. Moore played James Bond in seven movies between 1973 and 1985. Craig played Bond first in 'Casino Royale' in 2006. In 2022, Daniel Craig will star in 'MacBeth' on Broadway. Back in November 2019, Daniel Craig starred in 'Knives Out' with an ensemble cast. Ana De Armas joined him in the movie, and she is joining him again in 'No Time to Die.' De Armas will be one of the Bond girls, along with Lea Seydoux. Seydoux will play the love interest of Bond, like she did in 'Spectre.' The main villain is Rami Malek, since Christoph Waltz is in jail in the new Bond flick. If you remember in 'Spectre'; Christoph Waltz played the main Blofeld villain. In contrast, Christoph Waltz has a smaller part in 'No Time To Die.' Malek plays the role of Lyutsifer Safin, a sinister supervillain. Naomie Harris is back as 'Eve MoneyPenny' in the latest Bond movie. She will play the familiar role for the third time. Ralph Fiennes will reprise his role of Gareth Mallory, for the third time as well. Gareth Mallory goes by 'M'; as his shorter nickname. In this penultimate paragraph, the character of 'Nomi' is discussed in detail. 'Nomi' is portrayed on the big screen by Lashana Lynch. She is the new female 007 in 'No Time To Die.' In one of the scenes, Lynch and Craig make snide remarks at each other. In another action scene, Lynch and Craig are in the same plane on a deadly mission. Finally, James Bond is back on the big screen for 163 minutes. Like 'Spectre'; this new Bond movie is another long movie. Enjoy the picture above of Daniel Craig sans his wife, Rachel Weisz. The married couple has a daughter together. Good Stuff!
