Phoebe Waller-Bridge has also revealed her contributions to the script for Bond 25.
It isn’t long now until we see Daniel Craig’s last outing as James Bond, a title he first took up in 2006’s Casino Royale.
Since then, there have been some highs (Skyfall) and some lows (Quantum Of Solace), but all eyes are definitely on No Time To Die, his swansong as 007, and how director Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective, Beasts Of No Nation) will deal with his exit from the franchise.
And while the speculation is already rife with who will replace Craig, there is still a HUGE action movie to be made in the midst of all that, and this new behind-the-scenes footage gives a fantastic indication of the scope and intricate nature of some of the stunts we’ll get to see on the big screen before too long.
Fukunaga also gives some more details on Bond’s latest adversary, Safin (played by Oscar-winner Rami Malek), and how he ties in to the past, present, and future of James Bond.

Meanwhile, while speaking to The Independent, Fleabag and Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge revealed what her contributions to the script were:
“[I was asked to do] dialogue polishes and to offer things really. It’s about just offering different alternatives. They did give me some scenes and then be like, can you write some alternatives for this or have another idea about where it could go in the middle or how it would end.
“And then I would just give them options and various scenes and then they would take what they want. But there was a lot people writing – the director [Cary Fukunaga] was a writer on it as well. And there’d been a few writers before.”
Those other writers include John Hodge (Trainspotting), who was working from an idea by original director Danny Boyle, as well as Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum), Paul Haggis (Casino Royale), and Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who have collectively worked on every Bond movie since 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.
No Time To Die arrives in Irish cinemas on Thursday 2 April.
