Retirement is going well for Bond then (Picture: MEGA)

Daniel Craig has been left bruised and bloodied on the set of Bond 25, No Time To Die.

Yep, despite retiring to Jamaica at the end of the last film, Spectre, he’s definitely no longer living the quiet life.

The James Bond star is currently filming in Matera, a rocky outcrop in southern Italy and has been pictured in the middle of a brutal battle with an opponent that leaves him without a jacket and more than just a little banged up.

Production is steamrolling ahead in the country for the 25th offering of the titular character, this time directed by Cary Fukunaga.

Set pictures from earlier in September showed Craig in the same outfit, and alongside his body double so Bond fans seem to be in store for one heck of an action sequence.



Lea Seydoux has also been pictured on set, with recent pictures showing Craig and Seydoux getting to grips with one another in an intimate scene shot.

Dressed casually, French actress Seydoux (who plays Dr Madeleine Swann) wore a red and white sundress, while Craig went cool and collected in a blue jacket and trousers, as they kissed on stone steps.

The 007 actor placed a hand on his co-star’s shoulders, as they locked lips but with the character known for his passion and steamy embraces with the women of Bond, it’s a little G-rated.

No Time To Die hits UK cinemas on 3 April 2020.
