When was the first poster revealed?
On October 5, Universal Pictures took to their official Instagram account to post the very first official poster of the upcoming action flick.
Fans see a steely-eyed Daniel Craig staring into the distance, and one can only imagine what his character James Bond must be thinking in his mind.
The handsome hunk stands in front of a simple backdrop of a black and blue wall with the movie's title splurged in the front.
Universal Pictures also notes that the film will be dropping in April, 2020, while the caption read: “Celebrate #JamesBondDay with the first poster for #NoTimeToDie #Bond25”
Will Daniel Craig return for the new Bond movie?
Daniel Craig has been confirmed to reprise the role of James Bond in the forthcoming 25th instalment.
The film's director has said that he appreciated the fragility and humanity Daniel brought to the character in Casino Royale.
There'll be a correlation between Casino Royale and the forthcoming movie that will give viewers a deeper character insight into this particular Bond.
It should be noted, however, that this will be Craig's final time reprising the role, having previously played the part in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).
Who else is in the cast of No Time To Die?
The film already has a star-cast, with more actors to be announced.
Here are the stars that has so far been announced:
- Daniel Craig returns as James Bond agent 007 – this will be his last film.
- Lashana Lynch is reported to play the new 007 agent who took over from James Bond. Bond 25 starts with Bond trying to enjoy retirement.
- Rami Malek is confirmed as the film's primary antagonist Dali Benssalah.
- Ralph Fiennes as M, the head of MI6 and Bond's superior officer.
- Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, a former agent who left the field to become M's assistant.
- Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner, the MI6 chief of staff.
- Léa Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, a psychiatrist who assisted Bond on a previous mission.

What will happen in No Time To Die?
Director Cary Joji Fukunaga has revealed that the storyline would follow the character transformation of James Bond that started with Casino Royale.
Speaking to The Inquirer, he said: "In terms of what I can bring to change the character, Bond is on a character arc that started with Casino Royale, and I will be carrying that on.
"There will be changes, I am sure. As in any story, a character has to change in order [to have] a narrative."
During the film's launch event in April 2019, it was revealed that Bond's short-lived new-found life in Jamaica abruptly ends when help from the CIA is urgently needed.
Apparently, the growing discussion of the Me Too movement had a drastic impact when putting the concept of the film together, producer Barbara Broccoli gushed.
With the diversity in the cast mixed with a compelling story to tell, Barbara seems certain that this Bond film will relate with the current events the world is faced with.
"The Me Too movement has had a huge impact – rightfully, thankfully – on society, and these films should reflect that, as everything we do should," she added.
