The latest James Bond film, No Time to Die, is finally arriving in UK cinemas this week after a long delay.

Originally scheduled to release in April 2020, the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to that and there have been many date changes since then.

The film is the 25th in the long-running series about the British spy, with it also marking Daniel Craig's fifth and final appearance as 007.

No Time To Die takes place after Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica when his old friend Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright, from the CIA turns up asking for help.

A mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading to a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Lea Seydoux, Rami Malek, Naomie Harris, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Ana de Armas and Ralph Fiennes all star alongside Craig.

The film is rated 12A and will have a runtime of 163 minutes.

Here's where you can watch the film in Southend this week, including midnight screenings.
