Bond Dies: Craig's 007's Final Sacrifice Revealed
28 Jan
Summary
- James Bond dies to prevent a bioweapon from spreading.
- Rami Malek's villain Safin seeks revenge with Project Heracles.
- Daniel Craig's era as Bond concludes in 'No Time to Die'.
Daniel Craig's five-film run as James Bond culminated in "No Time to Die," released in October 2021. The film dominated the box office, grossing over $770 million worldwide, and received critical acclaim for its emotional conclusion. The narrative centers on a bioweapon, Project Heracles, developed by scientist Valdo Obruchev for MI6. This nanobot-based weapon can be reprogrammed to target specific individuals or entire ethnicities.
The primary antagonist, Lyutsifer Safin, portrayed by Rami Malek, seeks revenge against SPECTRE for his family's murder. He manipulates Obruchev to modify Heracles, intending to eliminate SPECTRE and target Madeleine Swann and her daughter, Mathilde. Safin aims to enact his twisted vision of a new world order from his ancestral home, the Poison Garden.
In a devastating turn, Bond is infected with a Heracles variant that is fatal to him but harmless to his loved ones. To prevent the bioweapon's spread, he orders a missile strike on Safin's island base, sacrificing himself. This marks the first time a cinematic James Bond has met his definitive end.
