Craig will be joined by Ralph Fiennes as M, the head of MI6; Rory Kinnear as Tanner, a loyal associate of Bond’s; Ben Whishaw as Q, who presides over MI6’s research and development department; Naomie Harris as Moneypenny; Léa Seydoux as the psychologist Dr Madeleine Swann; and Jeffrey Wright as CIA agent Felix Leiter. Rami Malek will take on the role of the antagonist.

Other new additions to the cast include  Billy Magnussen ,  Ana De Armas ,  David Dencik ,  Dali Benssalah  and  Lashana Lynch .

No Time to Die is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who came on board as a director after Danny Boyle exited the project over “creative differences.” The film has been shot across the Caribbean island nation of Jamaica, London, Italy, and Norway.

Fukunaga has co-written the film alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Scott Z Burns, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, according to Collider.

No Time to Die is Craig’s fifth and final outing as James Bond. There has been a raging debate about who would succeed the actor. A strong case has been made by many who want to see a female Bond. Recently, Pierce Brosnan said that he would like to see a gender-flipped 007 but was unsure whether producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, would be willing to see the change.
