Daniel Craig Has Known No Time to Die Twist for 15 Years

Daniel
Craig
has
revealed
that
he
sat
on
the
explosive
ending
of
his
007
swansong,



No
Time
to
Die,
for
as
long
as
15
years.

SPOILERS
incoming,
as
the
movie
ends
with
a
hugely
shocking
twist,
killing
off
Craig’s
iteration
of
James
Bond
in
epic
fashion,
as
the
iconic
spy
sacrifices
himself
in
order
to
save
his
newfound
family.
In
a
companion
book
for

No
Time
to
Die,
Taschen’s ‘James
Bond
Archives’,
Craig
has
revealed
that
this
was
always
the
plan,
with
the
actor
stating
that
he
had
always
wanted
his
version
of
the
character
to
end
up
dead.

“When
I
started
as
Bond
on



Casino
Royale,
one
of
the
early
discussions
I
had
with
Barbara
[Broccoli]
and
Michael
[G.
Wilson]
was
that
I
would
like
to
be
killed
off
when
I
am
finished.”

Directed
by
Cary
Joji
Fukunaga
from
a
screenplay
by
Neal
Purvis,
Robert
Wade,
Fukunaga,
and
Phoebe
Waller-Bridge,
and
starring
Léa
Seydoux,
Ben
Whishaw,
Naomie
Harris,
Jeffrey
Wright,
Christoph
Waltz,
Ralph
Fiennes,
Lashana
Lynch,
Ana
de
Armas,
and
Rami
Malek
alongside
Daniel
Craig,

No
Time
to
Die
picks
up
five
years
after
the
capture
of
Ernst
Stavro
Blofeld,
with



James
Bond
having
now
left
active
service.
He
is
approached
by
Felix
Leiter,
his
friend,
and
a
CIA
officer,
who
enlists
his
help
in
the
search
for
Valdo
Obruchev,
a
missing
scientist.
When
it
becomes
apparent
that
Obruchev
was
abducted,
Bond
must
confront
a
danger
the
likes
of
which
the
world
has
never
seen
before.

The
movie
ends
in
a
hugely
dramatic,
vastly
surprising
fashion,
as
Bond
is
infected
by
the
villainous
Safin
with
a
vial
containing
nanobots
programmed
to
kill
love-interest
Madeleine
and
their
daughter
Mathilde.
After
murdering
his
way
through
a
countless
number
of
henchmen
before
killing
Safin,
Bond
decides
to
allow
himself
to
die
courtesy
of
several
missiles
that
have
been
trained
on
Bond’s
location.
Saying
goodbye
to
Madeleine
and
Mathilde,
the
heart-breaking
events
provide
a
finite
conclusion
to
Daniel
Craig’s
tenure
as
James
Bond
unlike
any
in
the
long-running
franchise
before.

The
ending
came
as
a
shock
to
audiences,
Bond
fans,
and
critics
alike,
and
knowing
that



Daniel
Craig
has
been
sitting
on
this
secret
ever
since
first
appearing
in

Casino
Royale
way,
way
back
in
2006
is
certainly
impressive,
and
suggests
that
Craig
would
perhaps
have
made
a
pretty
good
spy
himself.

No
Time
to
Die
of
course
features
Craig’s
final
outing
as
James
Bond,
with
the
actor
recently
admitting
that
he
will
struggle
when
another
actor
takes
his
place. “I
thought
[Spectre]
was
it.
And
I’m
really,
really
happy
that
I
was
given
the
opportunity
to
come
back
and
do
[No
Time
to
Die],
because
we’ve
sort
of
wrapped
up
a
lot
of
the
stories,”
Craig
said. “And
just
a
chance
to
come
do
one
more
was
wonderful…
It’s
been
incredible
to
do
these
films.
It’s
very
emotional.
I’m
glad
I
am
ending
it
on
my
own
terms.
I’m
grateful
to
the
producers
for
letting
me
do
that.
But
I
sure
miss
it.
I’ll
probably
be
incredibly
bitter
when
the
new
person
takes
over.”

No
Time
to
Die
is
scheduled
to
be
released
on
DVD,
Blu-ray
and
Ultra
HD
Blu-ray
in
the
UK
on
20
December
2021
and
in
the
US
on
21
December
2021.
