Directed by Skyfall‘s Sam Mendes, SPECTRE sees Daniel Craig return as 007 for the fourth time.

The official synopsis for the film reads: “A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.”

Alongside returning regulars Ralph Fiennes (M), Ben Whishaw (Q), Naomie Harris (Miss Moneypenny) and Rory Kinnear (Tanner), new cast members include Monica Belluci, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Christoph Waltz and Sherlock star Andrew Scott.
