Daniel Craig on Lessons Learned From Bond, and That Shocking Ending to ‘No Time to Die’
This article contains significant spoilers for No Time to Die. As No Time To Die continues its streak of domination at cinemas worldwide — to the extent that it’s being feted in some corners as the savior of the film industry — audiences and fans are having the chance to consider the film’s elegiac send-off to Daniel Craig, who is retiring from the role of James Bond.

With the Daniel Craig-James Bond franchise com...
