Daniel Craig’s fourth outing as famous super spy James Bond looks to take a darker, more roguish turn than ever, with Bond looking to “disappear” from the British spy agency that gives him the “00” license to kill rating.

The new trailer has all sorts of dramatic moments interspersed with the action, gadgetry, cars, women, overly-confident villains and explosions fans want to see.

Check it out below and be ready to see your first glimpse at the big bad behind the scenes of anti-spy organization, SPECTRE, which seems to be aimed squarely at Bond, James Bond’s broad shoulders.

There’s nothing better than a new James Bond flick, and Spectre is primed to be the best of the new series that started in 1962 with Dr. No. The series has spanned 24 films in the intervening half a century and shows no sign of slowing down.

Craig’s portrait of a flawed murderous spy who serves at the pleasure of the modern British bureaucracy has infused some much-needed realism into a series that could only be described as becoming more over-the-top with each successive film until the current production team brought Craig in for Quantum of Solace in 2008 and the brooding Skyfall in 2012.

Needless to say, I’m pretty excited about 007’s upcoming Spectre flick, which should see broad release on November 6, 2015. How about you?
