Daniel Craig’s final performance as a world-famous spy, James Bond, is coming closer. While the posters revealing some of the other characters present in the film were released yesterday, the first teaser for Craig’s last Bond adventure, No Time To Die, was released today.
In the teaser trailer, we have all the classic Bond elements: fast cars, chases, incredible stunts and of course, a female character who will undoubtedly be getting into 007’s way, one way or the other. What could make this Bond movie different is one of these female characters, Nomi — played by Captain Marvel star Lashana Lynch, is introduced as another “00 Agent” and will be working with James Bond on a case together. Knives Out star Ana de Armas will play Paloma, another woman from Bond’s past. And the big bad? He will be played by none other than Rami Malek, who has had an incredibly successful year following his award season in 2019.
A star-studded cast, a classic Bond score, and a lot of action promises fans what they are looking for in a 007 movie. The movie is set to be released in April of next year.

That is what CIA agent Eva Geller (Michelle Monaghan) has to ask herself in the coming Netflix series Messiah, as a man called Al-Masih (Mehdi Dehbi) emerges into the public eye due to the public disruptions he causes. As he travels the world through seemingly strange means, Geller tracks him to try and uncover the truth behind the man and his origins. Al-Masih claims to have been sent to do God’s work, he amasses followers everywhere he goes and the world is split in two camps: believers and non-believers. As the show progresses we will also see the events unfold from several different perspectives. We meet a preacher’s daughter (Stefania LaVie Owen), an Israeli intelligence officer (Tomer Sisley), a Palestinian refugee (Sayyid El Alami), and one of the journalists tasked with covering the story (Jane Adams).
Messiah premieres exclusively on Netflix on January 1, 2020. Watch the trailer below!
