Johnny Marr working on James Bond 'No Time To Die' score with Hans Zimmer

Johnny Marr, the legendary guitarist and songwriter with The Smiths, is working on the score for the upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die.

Marr is going to work alongside his longtime collaborator Hans Zimmer on the music for the 25th installment to the franchise, which will also mark Daniel Craig’s final appearance as 007.

Speaking to NME about his inclusion on the film, Marr was, understandably, rather happy to be joining No Time To Die.

“Part of the legacy of the Bond films is iconic music,” he declared. “So I’m very happy to be bringing my guitar to No Time To Die.”

Marr has become quite the pro when it comes to film scores as he has worked alongside the Oscar-winning Zimmer on four movies now. These have included Inception, The Amazing Spider-Man, Freeheld, and The Big Bang.

In the past, Marr, who previously toured with Zimmer, too, has even gone as far as to call him “family,” before adding, “He’s always doing movies and I like doing movies so I think there are going to be a couple more films going on.”

This is the second big announcement of the week regarding the music for No Time To Die, as it was recently revealed that Billie Eilish will be singing the title theme song for the film.
