No Time To Die stars Daniel Craig and Rami Malek surprised a socially-distanced audience at an IMAX theater in Burbank, California.
The duo have been appearing together all week in the final push leading up to the release of the latest 007 installment, which marks the final time Craig will be playing the iconic James Bond character.
Entering stage left, the audience waiting for the movie to begin were stunned when the two actors made their way in front of the screen.

The duo wasted little time in going straight into the introduction to No Time To Die, which was originally slated to premiere in November 2019 but was postponed a number of times, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘We made this movie in IMAX. I haven’t seen this movie in IMAX,’ Craig revealed the crowd, before adding, ‘It was made to be seen on a big screen.’
The England native, 53, went on to get a little hyped, adding, ‘I can’t tell you how overwhelmed and happy and exhilarated [I am] by the fact that you guys are sitting in this cinema about to watch this movie on this screen.’
