Come November, Daniel Craig will have ended his reign as 007 James Bond. No Time To Die is (currently) slated for a November 20 release date. What will Craig do next? Well, we’ll have to wait to find out. In the meantime, let’s relive our favorite performances of his (including three James Bond films):

CASINO ROYALE

Let’s go back to where his Bond story began. This origin story is one for the books as Craig wields his powers as 007 for the first time.

Casino Royale is available on Netflix.

SKYFALL

Skyfall is regarded as one of the best Bond films of all time and definitely tops the list of the ones Craig has led. Dame Judi Dench finds her way into the mix, making for an interesting turn of events.

Skyfall is available to rent on Amazon.

SPECTRE

The latest Bond film has one of the coolest opening scenes in history. It takes place in Mexico at a Dia de Los Muertos celebration. It’s truly an international experience.

Spectre is available on FX.

KNIVES OUT

In Rian Johnson’s hit film Knives Out, Craig plays the Poirot-like figure Benoit Blanc. The modern whodunit features some of our favorite people, including Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ana de Armas — who stars in No Time To Die as well. 

Knives Out is available on Amazon Prime.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

Craig plays something similar to a detective in this David Fincher thriller — he’s a journalist investigating the disappearance of Rooney Mara’s character. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo will keep you on the edge of your seat like any good Fincher film.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is available on Starz.

LAYER CAKE

Perhaps this is the move that landed him the role as James Bond. Layer Cake is a gritty film about a cocaine dealer who gets two more jobs on the eve of his retirement. Talk about bad timing.

Layer Cake is available on Showtime.
