Daniel Craig returns as the dapper MI6 agent, joining Sherlock’s baddie Moriarty, Andrew Scott as a colleague and “Guardians of the Galaxy” actor Dave Bautista, playing a henchman called Mr Hinx. Oscar winner Christoph Waltz also stars alongside Ralph Fiennes, who takes the helm as “M” at the secret intelligence service.

New Bond ladies are Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux.

Car nerds will be happy to see the Aston Martin DB10.
