Months before "No Time To Die" hit the theaters, fans were interested in how the writers handled the end of James Bond, considering that the actor Daniel Craig, who portrayed him in the previous four installments, finally said goodbye to him .

In an interview (which may reveal too many details to those who haven't seen No Time To Die yet) with Variety, Craig, director Cary Fukunaga and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson talked about the ending of the 25th film about to secret agent 007.

Following are the plot details of "No Time to Die":

At the end of this achievement, James Bond definitely dies, sacrificing his life to save his loved ones, but also the possibility that the virus modified into a biological weapon can be recreated.

The most deserving of this ending is the actor Craig, who wanted to say goodbye to the hero he played in "Quantum of Solace", "Skyfall", "Casino Royale", "Spectre" and the latest "No Time To Die". .

After the premiere of "Casino Royale" in Berlin, Craig spoke with Broccoli about the future of his involvement and the end of it.

"I said to her - Can I kill him in the last one? That was the only way I saw it as my end and the possibility of someone else taking over the character after me," Craig recalled.

For Wilson, who has produced every James Bond film since 1972's Moonraker, the idea made sense.

As he said, the author of this character, Ian Fleming, almost killed the most famous spy in the novels "From Russia with Love" and "You Only Live Twice", so he realized that even in movies, one must come to an end.

"Opportunities have to come to you sometimes. Bond is used to being lucky, and it was important for the audience that his trademark - luck, sometimes has to wear out," he explained.

That Bond would die was decided before Fukunaga got the job as director, but it was left to him to decide how it would happen.

According to him, there were many ideas, from a stray bullet to the one that played out in the film, but both he and Craig knew that it had to be a hopeless situation for Bond.

"It had to have weight... If we hadn't found it, I don't think we would have been able to do it. We would have found a different way to end it," Craig added.
