Finally hitting theaters from MGM is No Time to Die, the latest 007 adventure, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as James Bond for the 5th and last time.

Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective) directed the film which features a script written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade, Scott Z. Burns with Cary Joji Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Also returning to the franchise are Ralph Fiennes as M, Lea Seydoux (Spectre), Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as A, with Rory Kinnear as Tanner and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter. New cast members confirmed for the film include Dali Benssalah, Billy Magnussen, Ana De Armas, David Dencik, Lashana Lynch and Rami Malek.

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 Lynch, who is best known for playing the role of Rosaline Capulet in the ABC and Shonda Rhimes’ period drama series Still Star-Crossed and fighter pilot Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel, this is probably he role to date on the big screen. In speaking with BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales, Lynch talks about being 007, being one of Jamaican actresses in the film, and the exposure the film comes with.
