CinemaCon attendees were treated to a nine-minute action clip from upcoming film No Time To Die – as bosses insisted the release date will not be pushed back again.
Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007 has been repeatedly delayed due to the pandemic.
Yet movie theatre owners were finally treated to a look at the series’ 25th installment – which showed Bond waking from an explosion in a picturesque Italian village, before launching into a series of car and motorbike chases.
No turning back: James Bond bosses teased new scene from No Time To Die at CinemaCon and insisted the film will hit cinemas in October following series of setbacks
No Time To Die picks up after 2015’s Spectre, with the loyalty of love interest Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) now seemingly called into question.
The lengthy clip helped provide some context from the high-action bits from the trailer, which was released last month.
In the footage – described by CinemaCon attendees in Vegas – Bond is left disorientated from the explosion and attempts to call for help but is unable to reach anyone.
The MI6 spy then takes off running as he’s pursued by a menacing vehicle that attempts to strike him from behind.
Chase scenes: Movie theatre owners were finally treated to a look at the series’ 25th installment – which showed Bond in a series of car and motorbike chases.
Yet quick-thinking Bond manages to escape, swinging himself off a bridge by grabbing hold of a support cable before taking off running again.
Despite dodging imminent danger, Bond isn’t out of the woods just yet, as he’s soon taken on by a mystery motorcycle rider who attacks the spy.
Yet he’s no match for MI6’s finest, who chokes the mystery assailant with a clothes line, but not before being warned that villain Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) sends his regards, and suggests that Bond’s girlfriend, Madeleine, is a traitor.
Rushing off to see his girlfriend, Bond is later seen telling Madeleine, ‘You’re right letting go is hard,’ before angrily confronting her as she denies all claims.
The action isn’t lulled for a second, however, with the pair then forced to flee in Bond’s iconic Aston Martin as they’re pursued by yet more attackers.
Dropping another hint that she’s betrayed her lover, Madeleine receives a call from Blofeld who says, ‘Your father would be so proud of you; your sacrifice will be our glory.’

As well as treating fans to the footage, MGM film chief Michael De Luca assured the crowd of movie theatre owners that they would not be postponing the film’s release, announcing: ‘I’ll cut to the chase -James Bond’s coming out in October.’
The annual CinemaCon trade show sees Hollywood studios bring glitzy stars and never-before-seen footage to a Las Vegas casino to woo theater bosses.
Bond producers also insisted that future 007 films will still appear in theaters, despite the $8.45 billion takeover deal from Amazon that was intended to boost Amazon’s streaming presence.
