Set Photos: Daniel Craig Looking Like Bond in 'Skyfall'

In an ideal world, the twenty-third onscreen adventure of Bond, James Bond, would involve the international superspy teaming up with Barney from How I met Your Mother to wear incredibly snazzy suits, fight bad guys, and, of course, bed innumerable gorgeous women with a minimum of effort. Were that that happen, Skyfall would be legend – wait for it – ary. In the absence of a Barney Stinson-James Bond team-up, there's the actual new Bond movie and it's currently shooting in London, the ostensible home of Ian Fleming's globe-trotting sex machine. A new crop of set photos have made their way online, showing Daniel Craig on the Skyfall set looking wearing an outstanding suit and holding a tiny gun.

As you can see in these pictures that debuted at Just Jared, Craig also looks cold, very cold. This is no doubt due to the simple fact that it's February in London. So don't judge him for the giant puffy coat draped over his shoulders between takes.

Earlier this week, we saw a cool official photo of Craig looking dangerous in the film, so click here if you haven't seen that.

The last entry in the Bond franchise, Quantum of Solace, was a surprisingly direct follow-up to the successful 2006 rebootish business in Casino Royale, but we know that Skyfall won't continue the Quantum shenanigans of the previous installment, opting instead to shake things up a bit. Overseeing the shake-up is Sam Mendes, the Oscar winning director whose credits include Away We Go, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, and American Beauty. He's brought along his frequent collaborator Thomas Newman to act as composer, too.

Craig will kick ass as Bond for the third time, once again making audiences forget about how much they bitched when his casting in Casino Royale was announced so many moons ago. He's joined again by Judi Dench, along with franchise newcomers Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Berenice Marlohe, Ben Whishaw, Albert Finney, and Helen McCrory.

Skyfall arrives in American theaters on November 9th.
