The world premiere of Spectre, the 24th James Bond adventure, was projected in Sony 4K at London’s Royal Albert Hall on October 26.

But Craig has apparently said “Spectre” will be his final Bond film.
The royals, who arrived in a Bentley, were greeted by director Sam Mendes and co-producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). “A woman that has darkness, and he created a very dramatic atmosphere around that”, said Monica Bellucci.
Deadline has reported that Spectre has beaten the first day total of the previous Bond movie-2012’s Skyfall-and set new records for a first day gross in the UK. “We’re done. All I want to do is move on”.
In an interview with Parade magazine, published on Friday, Craig said, rolling his eyes, “There’s a complete separation between the character and me”.
Famous faces on the carpet included Dames Shirley Bassey and Joan Collins, Hobbit star Martin Freeman, musician Will.i.am and former Bond girl Maryam D’Abo from The Living Daylights.
British critics have praised the film and Craig’s performance.
The latest film sees Bond confronting enemies from his past through a shadowy organisation known as Spectre.
Craig did actually have a bit of serious advice for whoever follows him as Bond – whether that’s directly after Spectre or later on.
The actor was asked if he could do the “Daniel Craig pout” to which he replied: “I think you need to move on”.
“I said at the very outset that I needed to be given the confidence to be James Bond, because I am not that man”, he added.

“I literally can’t believe it, I’ve used up all my luck for this year and next year”, he says in the video.
