Daniel Craig cried after watching his last ever appearance as James Bond in No Time to Die. The 25th installment of the James Bond franchise saw Craig retire the famous black and white tuxedo after starring in five consecutive films, starting out with 2006's Casino Royale. No Time to Die was constantly moved around multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic meaning his final bow was delayed. But landing in theatres in October 2021, the film did not disappoint and scored praise from critics and the audience alike.
No Time to Die followed the events after Spectre and saw Bond being dragged out of his retirement to help fight against Lyutsifer Safin's (Rami Malek) bioweapons project. The film is praised for slightly going away from the usual James Bond formula, being the first film of the franchise to have the British spy be killed, with Craig approving of the character's death. Other differences came in the form of Bond not being 007 in the film, having a relationship and even creating a family out of it with Bond discovering that Madeline's daughter Mathilde is his own.
