Daniel Craig’s final film as 007 will send him out in an epic fashion, at least in terms of its length. Regal Cinemas is now advertising No Time to Die’s runtime as part of its listing and the film is listed as 163 minutes (2 hours, 43 minutes). That is long enough to easily beat Spectre’s 148 minutes as the longest film in 007 history.

Of course, it must be said that while that is obviously long, it still falls short of the longest action film by a pretty wide margin, ranking well behind King Kong (187 minutes) and last year’s Avengers: Endgame (182 minutes), among others. The film releases on April 8th in the US and stars Craig alongside Ana de Armas, Lea Seymour, Rami Malek, Christopher Waltz, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Billy Magnussen, Jeffrey Wright, Ben Whishaw & Lashana Lynch.

In No Time to Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
