Daniel Craig's fifth and final James Bond movie comes out on 30th September. Ahead of that, we know you might fancy a Bond marathon.
Daniel Craig made his 007 debut in 2006 with Casino Royale and 15 years later, the 53-year-old stars in his final Bond movie, No Time to Die. At just under three hours, it's set to be the longest Bond film ever.
Craig was made an honorary Royal Navy commander to match James Bond's rank ahead of the new movie. He's the first Bond actor to be given the title.

Navy warship HMS Dragon makes a cameo appearance in the upcoming NTTD movie and the RAF Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire is also used as a backdrop in the latest 007 story.
Off-screen, Craig has close ties with the military and has for years personally supported them. He said with his new rank that he's keen to support personnel within the Royal Navy with a particular focus on personnel's families.

Tom Hardy, Rege-Jean Page and Idris Elba are among the bookies' favourites to be the next 007. Pierce Brosnan has named Tom Hardy and Idris Elba as his favourites to be the next Bond.
There's even been talk of the next Bond being portrayed by a woman and Gemma Collins has already expressed her interest in playing the first female 007. But the film's producer, Barabara Broccoli, has said that Bond will always be a man.
"James Bond is a male character," she said. "I hope that there will be many, many films made with women, for women, by women, about women.
"I don't think we have to take a male character and have a woman portray him. So yes, I see him [James Bond] as male.

"And I'm sort of in denial, I would love for Daniel to continue forever," she added.
Broccoli has confirmed that the hunt for the next Bond will begin in 2022. Whoever it is, Craig has already warned his successor not to f**k it up.Featured Image Credit: 007.comTopics: TV and Film, Daniel Craig, James Bond
