The saucy still, released to Empire, shows Daniel Craig sitting in his swimming trunks by a pool.

The hotly anticipated 23rd Bond film stars Craig as 007. His co-stars are Fiennes, Dench, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe and Ben Whishaw.

'Skyfall' is released in the UK on 26 October 2012.
