The first look atDaniel Craig‘s swan song has arrived.
The 51-year-old actor isstaring as James Bond for the final timein the upcomingNo Time to Die.And judging from the trailer which dropped on Wednesday, he’s going out with a bang.
In the action-packed preview, Craig’s Bond finds himself in another series of high-speed car chases and dangerous fights, even jumping from a bridge in one of the most eye-catching stunts.
That dangerous duo appears to be enough to pull Bond out of the tranquil life in Jamaica he was enjoying after leaving active service.
Per the studio’s description of the film, inNo Time To Die, Bond’s peace is short-lived when an old friend from the CIA turns up asking for assistance. Bond’s mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous — leading Bond to do everything he can to stop Safin and a dangerous new technology.

His participation inNo Time to Diehad beenrumored to be his last, something he confirmed during a visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last month.
“Are you done with Bond?” Colbert asked Craig, to which the actor replied, “Yes.”
“It’s done,” he added.
Earlier in the week, Craig also opened up about moving on from the action film franchise. “Someone else needs to have a go,” he told German outletExpress, according toEsquire.
Craig has long hada complicated relationship with the franchise.
“This may be hard to believe, but I love the fact I’m Bond. We’re in rare air, making Bond movies. It is one of the most intense, fulfilling things I’ve ever done, but it takes a lot of energy and I’m getting old,” Craig toldThe Sunday Timesin November. “I’m getting creaky.”
No Time to Dieis set to hit theaters on April 10, 2020.
