In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

For Craig, this is his final outing as the 6th actor to play James Bond, having done Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre and now No Time To Die. When he was first cast in the role, Craig wasn’t widely accepted by the fans, but over time he gained their love and approval. He will next be seen in the sequel to Knives Out.

As for Seydoux, she’s reprising her role as Bond’s love interest Madeleine Swann. Her previous film credits include Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, the action film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and the critically acclaimed film Blue Is the Warmest Colour, for which she was awarded the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. She will next be seen in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch.
