Spectre will be Daniel Craig's fourth outing as 007, but he has hinted it will be his final film in the franchise.

Bond's tragic childhood in Scotland and the death of his parents featured in Skyfall - which shared the name of his family home.
Mendes said the new film returned to the theme.
"It's about whether or not to pursue the life he's always pursued, whether he matters and is he going to continue or not."
The first picture of Dave Bautista as the villainous assassin Mr Hinx was publicly unveiled on Thursday.
Spectre's cast also includes Lea Seydoux, Andrew Scott, Christoph Waltz and Monica Bellucci.
The film will open in cinemas worldwide on 6 November.
