After years of delays, we've been expecting Mr Bond's return for a long time - and it appears the wait has been worth it. It's a strong box office start for the latest film, which hit cinemas on Thursday, giving a much-needed boost for an industry hit hard by the COVID pandemic.
Speaking to Sky News ahead of the release of his final turn as the secret agent, Craig said it was a "joyous thing" to see the film finally coming to cinemas.

Cyber security expert Jamie Collier agrees: "The era of the kind of martini-sipping James Bond could be over. A mixture of sophistication, brute force and machismo - his power over women is celebrated as much as his ability to stop baddies. But, thankfully in recent films, Bond is starting to become more self-aware.
