Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
NO TIME TO DIE
The DB5 Will Be Back
The only movie car more iconic than the Aston Martin DB5 is the Batmobile. The DB5 has been central to the Bond franchise since its first appearance in the 1960s and it continues to look as stylish and cool as it did over 50 years ago. While Craig's Bond has always been lowkey with its use of gadgets, the DB5 is still full to the brim of gadgets.
The trailer shows that the DB5 is using the machine guns embedded behind its headlights in order to fight off an onslaught from some henchmen.
M Is Still Working
While there was no reason to believe that M would have been replaced as the head of MI6, the 5-year gap between Spectre and No Time To Die certainly would have made it believable that M could have stood aside for another character to take over.
Fortunately, this is not the case. Ralph Fiennes' M has been a magnificent version of the character and has managed to create a new and unique M after Dame Judi Dench's iconic portrayal of the character came to an end.
Bond Is A Legend Among MI6
Perhaps the most interesting element of the trailer was Bond's fame among MI6 workers. While Lynch doesn't seem to be too intimidated by Bond due to her reluctance to work with him, others are clearly intimidated.
This is clearly seen when Bond delivers the famous line 'Bond, James Bond' in a scene in the trailer. The character he speaks to is clearly in awe of Bond and is surprised that he is even stood there. This could raise even more similarities between this movie and the Dark Knight Rises.
Madeleine Swann's Secret
The central theme of the trailer focusses on a secret of Madeleine Swann. We see Bond asking her about this secret as the trailer starts, we see Blofeld talking about the secret to James Bond, and we see Swann herself looking at Rami Malek's Phantom of the Opera mask.
Her secret is almost certainly connected to Malek's character in the movie, however, the extent of this secret is still up in the air. Could Swann and Malek's character be related in a similar manner to Bond and Blofeld's characters? It's certainly possible.
Bond Has Retired
Perhaps the most important element of the plot revealed in the trailer is the fact that Bond has been retired for 5 years since the events of Spectre. Much like Skyfall, this could lead to a period in which Bond must become reacquainted with life in the secret service and catch up with the times.
However, perhaps most importantly, why would MI6 bring back an agent who has been retired for 5 years. Either MI6 has been severely damaged by the villainous organization or there is something specific about the case that only Bond is able to crack.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
