It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for the latest in the James Bond series to land, but now we're all genuinely close to being able to watch it, as the film will have its World Premiere on 28th September. This will lead a series of premieres in 57 cities across the globe and then, at last, it will go on general release two days later on 30th September.

The World Premiere of No Time To Die will take place at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and will be attended by ol’ Jimmy Bond himself, Daniel Craig. The actor takes the role of 007 for the final time in the new movie. Also at the premiere will be other members of the star-studded cast including Rami Malek (best known as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody) and Léa Seydoux, as well as Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Rory Kinnear, Ana de Armas, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah. 

Also walking the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall will be director Cary Joji Fukunaga, as well as screenwriters Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and everyone’s favourite Fleabag, Phoebe Waller-Bridge. And if there weren’t already enough big names in attendance, Billie Eilish will be there too. She created and performed the theme tune, along with Finneas O’Connell. Composer Hans Zimmer will be there as well.

The premiere won’t just be a star-studded affair though, as there will be viewing areas on the red carpet for invited health care workers and members of the armed forces. They will join the cast and other guests inside to watch the film.

As well as launching the new movie, the world premiere will also benefit charities supporting serving and former members of the three intelligence agencies (the Secret Intelligence Service, the Security Service and GCHQ). The evening will also assist charities supporting past and present members of the United Kingdom Special Forces.

There will be ten other premieres in the UK and Ireland, and health care workers will be invited as special guests to those too, as a thank you for all of the extraordinary work that they have done during the pandemic.

If you are thinking of heading along to the World Premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London to do a bit of star-spotting, then save yourself a journey because there won’t be any public access on the day to the red carpet or viewing areas.

You will, however, be able to see highlights from the event via the official 007 social media channels. So best stay at home and watch the proceedings from there.
