Daniel Craig is back, but this time? No spy gadgets, no martinis—just deep emotions, and, well… Drew Starkey. Yup, Craig’s jaw-dropping performance in Queer is causing a stir bigger than Bond fans finding out their favorite secret agent prefers shaken and stirred. The teaser for Luca Guadagnino’s latest film has hit the internet, and it’s already got people clutching their pearls and emotional support cats.
Plot? More Like a Heartfelt Telenovela with a Side of Soul-Searching
The movie takes place in 1950, where Craig plays William Lee, an American expat kicking around Mexico City like a brooding poet without a pen. His life? Lonely, uneventful, and about as thrilling as staring at a cactus all day—until Eugene Allerton, a charming ex-soldier played by Drew Starkey, struts into his life. It’s love, or at least “finally-a-reason-to-leave-my-apartment” vibes, at first sight. Together, they explore connection, companionship, and the universal truth that even James Bond needs a cuddle sometimes.
The Cast: A Dream Team of Emotional Turmoil and Sass
Alongside Craig and Starkey, the movie’s ensemble is packed with heavy hitters. Lesley Manville brings her usual “I’ll emotionally devastate you in two scenes or less” energy. Jason Schwartzman is likely up to some artsy shenanigans. Henrique Zaga and Omar Apollo? No clue what they’re doing in the movie, but we’re 100% here for it. Maybe they sing, maybe they cry—either way, iconic.
Oscar Buzz Already Brewing
Word on the street (and by street, we mean The Hollywood Reporter) is that Craig is cruising towards a 2025 Oscar nomination. Yep, people are already betting their brunch money on it. This could be the moment we finally see Daniel Craig collecting a little golden statue—not for dodging bullets but for navigating feelings. The range, people. THE RANGE.
Mark Your Calendars and Bring Tissues (and Popcorn)
Queer will waltz into theaters on November 27. Prepare for swooning, tears, and a whole new wave of fans saying, “Daniel Craig can step on my heart anytime, and I’d thank him for it.” If this film doesn’t make you rethink every meaningful glance you’ve ever shared with a stranger, did you even watch it?
So, 007 who? Daniel Craig’s got new missions now: self-discovery and possibly making you cry in public. And honestly, we love this journey for him.
