Bond's idyllic retirement, however, is unexpectedly interrupted when his old CIA buddy, Felix Leiter, turns up seeking his help. But the mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist will turn out to be much more complicated than expected, and will send Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain, an American of Egyptian origin (played by Rami Malek).

And that was the reason for the chief protagonist to have a change of mind... Craig was enticed by the opportunity to explore another, deeper side of Bond, which was the key reason for his return. “It's interesting to explore his emotions…He doesn't feel like other people, because he's a killer. On Casino [Royale] he loses the love of his life… and in Skyfall he loses M. So, it’s about loss, and that’s a big theme. Why not have big themes in an action movie about a killer? With Spectre we left a strong story, but also many things that were left unsaid. In this film we’ve managed to round it all off. And yes, in No Time to Die the themes are love and family,” explained Craig. And in this last film, despite all his excellence in certain areas, Craig’s Bond is by nomeans infallible. He is not a hero of myth and legend; he is a man who has FOTO: Profimedia.rs / Supplied by LMK / Landmark
