Fans excited by trailer of latest Bond film

-

IT HAS all the ingredient­s we have come to expect of the franchise over more than half a century.

There are shoot-outs, baddies and, of course, car chases. There is the rival spy, the femme fatale and the distinct suspicion of a double-cross. Yes, it’s the new James Bond film.

On Wednesday, fans were given their first look at No Time To Die, due to be Daniel Craig’s farewell as 007, with the release of a spectacula­r trailer.

The spy comes face-to-face with his female counterpar­t Nomi, played by Lashana Lynch, and the mysterious Paloma (Ana de Armas).

Lea Seydoux returns as love interest Dr Madeleine Swann, and Christoph Waltz is back as Blofeld.

At the end of the previous film, Blofeld was arrested by the British Secret Services following his time as head of the global criminal organisati­on, Spectre.

The two-and-a-half-minute trailer opens with Bond and Swann being chased in an Aston Martin, as he suspects her of betraying him, and Blofeld appears to corroborat­e his fears.

After spotting the criminal mastermind in the trailer, fans took to Twitter in their droves to rejoice over the return of Bond’s foster brother.

One excited enthusiast wrote: “Ok, I’m a little excited. Blofeld’s back and Rami Malek looks creepy as f*** in the mask. #pittroll #notimetodi­e.”

Another fanatic penned: “I genuinely think it looks excellent. Loads of action, gadgets, eccentric villains, it ties in with the last movies, Christoph Waltz reprises his role as Blofeld, the DB5 is back and updated, I could go on.”

While one said: “V v excited for #NoTimeToDi­e, a female 00, Rami Malek, and the return of Christoph Waltz’ Blofeld all on top of it being Craig’s last outing as Bond?”

The trailer gives a first look at Rami Malek’s masked villain Safin and hints at the usual high-octane stunts.

No Time To Die will be released April 10, worldwide.
