As for Madeleine and Mathilde, they're driving along a picturesque mountain road when mother turns to daughter and says: 'Let me tell you a story about a man named James Bond.' John Barry's OHMSS theme starts playing and the camera pulls back as their car enters a tunnel, headlights slowly fading in the distance.Ĭraig and Lea Seydoux in 2015's Spectre.

When the movie fades in again, the spy's former allies and friends are glimpsed reacting with various expressions of shock and disbelief. 'I know,' Bond says, before the missiles rain down on him and the world goes white. 'She has your eyes,' Madeleine says, prompting Craig to do his best Harrison Ford in The Empire Strikes Back impression. In return, she shares something that he (along with most of the audience) already guessed: Mathilde is his daughter. 'You have all the time in the world,' he tells her, referencing a tragic line of dialogue that's been part of the Bond mythos since the sixth - and arguably best - 007 movie, 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Bond doesn't show any intention of leaving, and Madeleine is the first to intuit what's actually going to happen.

Bond is supposed to prepare Safin's outpost to be blown to bits, and then vacate the premises before the place goes kablooey, once again living to fight another day like so many times in the past.Ĭraig and Javier Bradem in a memorable scene from 2012's Skyfall. Their planned coup de grâce will be delivered via a payload of missiles fired by a nearby Royal Navy ship. Meanwhile, back in London, the rest of MI6 - including M (Ralph Fiennes), Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) - are desperately trying to keep Bond's mission off the radar of other international agencies.

Realizing the end is nigh, Bond kills Safin and prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice. But the fatal blow comes when Safin tells 007 that he's infected with the virus and will pass it to his loved ones if he reunites with them. After taking out all of the supervillain's not-so-super enforcers, he and his target have their one-and-only brawl, which results in Bond taking multiple bullets. With that part of the operation taken care of, Bond has Nomi escort Madeleine and Mathilde off the island to safety, while he gets down to the business of stopping Safin. But the death of Craig's 007 means that his run - which encompasses 2006's Casino Royale, 2008's Quantum of Solace, 2012's Skyfall, 2015's Spectre and now No Time to Die - will forever stand on its own as a five-movie arc nestled within the 25-movie (and counting) series.Ĭraig in his second James Bond film, 2008's Quantum of Solace. (One lone exception is the 1967 version of Casino Royale, where David Niven's elderly Bond, along with the rest of the cast, is blown up by an atomic pill in the last scene of that spy movie spoof.) When it was time for a Bond to retire, the next one stepped in and the cycle continued.

The British actor is exiting the franchise after 15 years and five movies, and even if he wanted to come back - which he really, really doesn't - No Time to Die makes his exit final.
