Felix Leiter: Bond's friend and a CIA field officer. While Wright was surprised not to be asked to return in Skyfall and Spectre, he felt Felix's return in No Time to Die is given "more weight" by his prior absence. He said the film establishes the core brotherhood of Bond and Felix's relationship.
Jeffrey Wright
Logan Ash: a State Department agent assigned by Leiter to support Bond in finding Obruchev.
Billy Magnussen
Paloma: A CIA agent. De Armas described her character as "irresponsible" and "bubbly," and playing a key role in Bond's mission.
Ana de Armas
Ernst Stavro Blofeld: Bond's arch-enemy and foster brother, founder and head of the criminal syndicate SPECTRE, and now in MI6 custody. Fukunaga said: "Blofeld is an iconic character in all the Bond films. He's in prison, but he certainly can't be done yet, right? So what could he be doing from in there and what nefarious, sadistic things does he have planned for James Bond and the rest of the world?"
Christoph Waltz
Dr. Valdo Obruchev: a corrupt scientist and creator of Project Heracles.
David Dencik
Primo: a mercenary

RADIO1'S MR. MOVIE!-MAD AMI 🌠 · 10/10As a life long James Bond fan I thought this movie was a fitting end to the Daniel Craig era as James Bond.

David · 10/10This final Bond installment with Craig had the potential to be his best Bond movie. The good: Cinematography, locations, Story, action, and directing. The poor: Rami Malek, the villain, is by far the absolute WORST Bond villain in the history of the franchise. He will literally "…
Unknownian · 7/10I guess there was time to die, and as so many predicted, be replaced with a female Bond of color. Because... woke. But it is fitting that Craig went out like that, he seemed to be the only man in the world that didn't want to be James Bond. There was nothing playful about him...…

@expressivecut9303 · 8045 likesDaniel Craig will be missed. He brought that grit back to Bond while still maintaining a class and sophistication. Will always be my favorite bond and he definitely left a great legacy
