Daniel Craig on bidding Bond goodbye in ‘No Time to Die’
Associated PressNEW YORK — When Daniel Craig first got the gig, he felt like something had gone amiss. “I just felt like I wasn’t the right person.” Fifteen years and five films later, Craig’s tenure as 007 is coming to a close. “No Time to Die,” which opens in the U.S. on Friday after a 16-month delay due to the pandemic, is the last hurrah in Craig’s celebrated Bond era, a stewardship that saw Craig remake and emotionally deepen the once retrograde superspy — with more than $3 billion in box office along the way. I pretend better than I did back then.” “No Time to Die,” directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, is, with certainty, Craig’s final turn in the tux. “Daniel, who’s a feminist, really wanted to have more interesting female characters.” “I want everybody on screen to mean something, to have weight,” said Craig.
