No Time To Die serves as Daniel’s last appearance as 007 after five films.

He debuted as Bond in 2006′s Casino Royale and went on to appear in 2008′s Quantam Of Solace, 2012′s Skyfall and 2015′s Spectre.

No Time To Die was originally scheduled for release in November 2019, but was rescheduled for April 2020 after the departure of director Danny Boyle.

The coronavirus pandemic then moved the release date a further two times.

The actor held back tears as he gave an emotional speech to the cast and crew, in which he called working with them “one of the greatest honours of my life”.

No Time To Die is released in UK cinemas on 30 September.
