In the action-packed footage, Bond encounters Lashana Lynch's agent Nomi, who has been long-rumored to take on the 007 title and it was also revealed in the trailer that she already is a 00 agent and has been training for the past two years while Bond was out of active service, reported Variety.

Bond also comes face-to-face with American actor Rami Malek ominous masked villain Safin, who forebodes: "James Bond... license to kill... history of violence, I could be speaking to my own reflection. Only your skills die with your body. Mine will survive long after I'm gone."
