No Time to Die
The first trailer for the new James Bond movie , No Time To die out , supports the theory that Daniel Craig’sBond has been replaced as 007 by Lashana Lynch . Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from a script by , among others , Scott Z. Burns and Phoebe Waller - Bridge , No Time To Dieis the 25th James Bond pic outing , and is set to be thefinal film to feature Craig in the title role , with the actor having previously press out dissatisfaction with the part .
No Time To Diewill get down with Bond enjoying retreat , before he ’s get behind back into service by his old buddy Felix Leiter ( Jeffrey Wright ) to facilitate inquire the case of a missing scientist , which then throw him up against an all - new , all - terrifying baddie , act as by a masque - wearing Rami Malek . No sentence To Diebrings back a number of other conversant faces , include Léa Seydoux ’s Madeline Swann and Christoph Waltz ’s Ernst Stavro Blofeld , but there are some intriguing new addition - and none more so than Lashana Lynch ’s Nomi .

Arguably the biggest hypothesis aboutNo prison term To Dieis thatLynch ’s character is the new 007 . That ’s not to say the movie is introducing a distaff James Bond , but merely that she has read on the codename in his absence seizure , since he was very much on the outs from MI6 at the end ofSpectre , and that ’s a crack that needs filling . While it ’s very much been in the theory / rumor bracket for a while , theNo prison term To Dietrailer supports this notion by directly calling tending to the fact that Nomi is a 00 - agent , but not telling us her full number .
If Lynch were simply playing just another random member of the organisation , then there would n’t be any subject with revealing that she is , say , 008 or any other number . The greatest reason to withhold that information is becauseshe really is the new 007 , and Fukunaga & Co. are saving that for a freehanded reveal , either in another trailer or the pic itself . The dynamic between Nomi and Bond in the trailer suggests this too : everything about their interactions , from Nomi tell him to stay in his lane , to pointedly call off him"Commander Bond " . James has always nurse that position , but the style it ’s used here further distances him from his old role , as does the"Bond , James Bond gag " .
It ’s also worth note that M ( Ralph Fiennes ) asks"where ’s 007 ? " , which again could be taken as a signaling he ’s calculate for Lynch ’s reference , rather than plainly asking for James Bond - whose whereabouts are , at that point , presumably known . Of course , there ’s the possibility of a misdirect , but that does n’t really seem to be what theNo Time To Dietraileris doing . establish on the footage , and especially the dynamic between Craig and Lynch , then the latter having take on the codename of 007 by the sentence ofNo Time To Diemakes a heap of narrative and thematic gumption .
