After enduring months of delays, No Time to Die appears to be truly set for its wide theatrical release, with a final international trailer heralding Daniel Craig's swan song to the iconic secret agent James Bond. Leaning heavily on the film's action set pieces, the film always has a subtle, underlying theme that Bond is rapidly becoming outdated in the modern world and may pay the ultimate price by the time the closing credits roll on the big screen. And while there are certainly behind-the-scenes factors and narrative hints that Bond may be killed in No Time to Die, the British super-spy is virtually guaranteed to survive the events of the film and live to fight another day.

Like many of the preceding trailers and promos, No Time to Die's final trailer opens with Bond living in retirement in Jamaica. In his absence from Her Majesty's Secret Service, M struggles to stay ahead of global threats operating from the shadows while the CIA's Felix Leiter laments that the lines between good and bad guys have grown increasingly blurry. And as Bond is drawn out, feeling that he has lived especially long given his choice in profession, a new 00 agent surfaces in Lashawna Lynch's Nomi, positioned to better suited the turbulent, fast-paced times apparently more than the aging Bond as he prepares for one last adventure.

Nomi No Time To Die

There is a degree of finality present in all the trailers, with Rami Malek's villainous Safin depicted as the ultimate enemy that Bond has ever faced, a threat so bad that Bond and his lifelong nemesis Ernest Stavro Blofeld see Safin as a mutual enemy while comparing notes. Just as Bond is poised to be replaced by Nomi as a better hero for the times, Safin is positioned as a villain that will show Bond just how obsolete he has become since his latest attempt at retirement. But recent behind-the-scenes details virtually ensure Bond will return rather than shuffle off this mortal coil.

This past May, Amazon acquired MGM in a nearly $8.5 billion deal, including many of the studio's properties, including James Bond. While speculation mounted how this acquisition would affect the franchise, longtime Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli reaffirmed that the future for such a lucrative, popular franchise would remain cinematic. Filmmaker Cary Joji Fukunaga himself has downplayed rumors that he was making No Time to Die as the final Bond movie, claiming it will end with the franchise hallmark title card promising audiences "Bond will return" ahead of the end credits roll.

Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time to Die

For nearly sixty years, Bond has been gracing the big screen, saving the day and keeping the British end up as the ultimate gentleman spy. While fan-favorite star Daniel Craig may be done with depicting 007 following No Time to Die, the franchise is far too popular and successful for the producers to kill off its protagonist -- with Nomi perhaps serving as a potential feint for the franchise's future -- especially in the wake of the studio and property being acquired by Amazon. There may be a new actor wearing the familiar tuxedo and taking the wheel of the Aston Martin, but the future of James Bond continues to shine bright.

To see if this is Bond's last ride, No Time To Die will release in theaters in the UK Sept. 30 and in the US Oct. 8.
