50 free No Time to Die trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
No Time to Die closed out Daniel Craig's fifteen years as James Bond, and this quiz covers the whole of it: the frozen-lake prologue in Norway, the Aston Martin DB5 tearing through Matera, Paloma's three weeks of training in Cuba, Blofeld's bionic eye in Belmarsh, Project Heracles and the island where the missiles finally fall. It starts with questions any Bond fan can answer (who plays Safin, which agent inherits the 007 number, who sings the theme) and works up to the production stories that only the obsessives know: which director walked away in 2018, which composer was replaced in post-production, why the working title lasted so long, how many times the release moved during the pandemic, and what Louis Armstrong has to do with the closing credits. Every answer was checked against production records and the film's own credits, and each question links to its source. If you want the whole series, our James Bond trivia page covers all 25 films; this one is for the finale.
