James "007" Bond will see two fresh recruits join his fight in No Time to Die, as highlighted by a new teaser for the 25th installment of the Bond franchise.
The short video, weaving interviews with scenes from the film and clips of the actors' backstage training, announces Agents Nomi and Paloma. Portrayed respectively by Lashana Lynch and Ana de Armas, the duo comprises 007's cavalry in the upcoming espionage thriller, and the castmates provide perspective about their distinction as the "New Agents" in Bond's echelon.
"We have two brand-new agents in this film who are allies to James Bond," director and co-writer Cary Fukunaga said. Splicing rapid-fire segments from the movie with behind-the-scenes footage of jumping, shooting and kicking, the promo gives some insight into how extensive preparing for a role can be.
"I had many action scenes," de Armas recounted. "Thank god I had an amazing stunt team... I really wanted to get it right and look like I knew what I was doing." Agent Paloma is a Cuban CIA asset described by de Armas as being "intense."
"They put me through true military training," Lynch added. "We see so many different examples of women being strong in this movie."
Directed by Fukunaga and starring Daniel Craig, No Time to Die arrives in theaters on Oct. 8.
