After the bond movie, No Time to Die was delayed, no thanks to a stubborn pandemic, the world premiere of it finally took place in London at the Royal Albert Hall.

Craig walked down the red carpet with his co-stars including Lea Seydoux, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, and Naomie Harris. The event was attracted by royal guests such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and it also had tennis champion Emma Raducanu.
