After nearly 60 years and 24 movies, fans thought they knew what to expect from a James Bond movie’s conclusion: 007 stops the villain, lands a kiss (or more) with his latest love interest, and lives to save the world again in the next film. But No Time To Die, Daniel Craig’s final outing as the super-spy, turned out to massively flip the script. In a flagrant bit of false advertising, Bond did have time to die when he was blown up, defeating the evil Safin (Rami Malek).
While there had been whisperings that Craig’s era might end with the secret agent meeting his maker, this ending still came as a massive shock to audiences and miraculously never leaked out despite the many delays NTTD faced. This feat was achieved by keeping those who knew about the explosive conclusion to a minimum. Appearing on Deadline’s Crew Call podcast, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson explained that they shared a “decoy” script with most of the crew that included an “alternate version” of the third act.
