Daniel Craig returns to the role of James Bond in the first official picture from Skyfall.
The photo was revealed on Bond site 007.com at 8am GMT this morning (February 1).
A behind-the-scenes still of Craig wearing his blue swimming trunks from Casino Royale was released last month.
Watch the launch press conference for the 23rd James Bond movie Skyfall below:
Skyfall, Craig's third outing as Ian Fleming's iconic spy following 2006's Casino Royale and 2008's Quantum of Solace, will see Bond's loyalty to M tested as a figure from her past re-emerges.
It has been speculated that the film will see the deaths of several MI6 agents after funeral scenes were shot at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich Park earlier in the year.
Skyfall, which releases in cinemas on October 26, also stars Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Bérénice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Helen McCrory and Javier Bardem.
Oscar-winning American Beauty director Sam Mendes steps behind the camera to helm his first Bond movie.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the franchise later this year, MGM and 20th Century Fox will release the entire James Bond series on Blu-ray boxset for the first time.
