The official 007 Twitter account has just posted six awesome character posters in anticipation of tomorrow’s trailer to No Time To Die and they are AWESOME! They feature Daniel Craig as James Bond, Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, Rami Malek as Safin, Lashana Lynch as Nomi, Ben Whishaw as Q and Ana de Armas as Paloma.
Some quick, random thoughts about them:
- Bond is a badass in gloves and tactical holster on his thigh – almost looks like an assassin. Is Bond required to kill Safin?
- Swann looks great but overall muted…does she meet her maker in the beginning part of the movie?
- Safin is devious and kind of hiding his hands (akthough you *can* definitely see skin if you look close enough) Are they or will they be metallic? Safin aka Dr. No?
- Nomi is a badass…looking left to Safin’s character in the Tweet…does she first try to take him down and Bond helps her finish the job?
- Whishaw’s Q is a treasure…we are spoiled to have someone take up the Q helm worthy of Desmond Llewelyn.
- Paloma is a lowkey (not anymore) badass apparently…between the dual klobb in the teaser to the teaser trailer and this pic, she will likely be a force to be reckoned with.
Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To Die (2020)
James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Q (Ben Whishaw) meet at the National Gallery in London in front of painting The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up, 1838, an oil painting by the English artist Joseph Mallord William Turner in Skyfall (2012)
Q (Ben Whishaw) errs on the side of caution this time when handling a USB drive in No Time To Die (2021). The last time he flippantly connected one to a computer, a worm infected and spread into MI6’s computer network with disastrous effects in Skyfall (2012).
So this time around, Q ensures that he first attempts to access the unknown-origin USB via his “sandbox” computer – one that is completely isolated from his network and not connected to the outside world.

Looking at some random Bond movie clips yesterday, I saw two things that reminded me of the 90’s NBC sitcom Frasier, starring Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce.

Desmond Llewelyn as Q, his loud shirt as a fashion statement and Sean Connery as James Bond in Thunderball (1965)
Q and his awesome pineapple Hawaiian shirt from Thunderball (1965)
Leave it to the gadget man to make a fashion statement. The crazy pineapple shirt is fitting for a trip to Jamaica (along with his straw fedora)! I’d buy both if they were available for a good Bond themed Halloween costume…
“That’s putting it mildly, 007.”
