See first picture of Daniel Craig in new Bond movie

Daniel Craig in the upcoming James Bond film "Skyfall."

Foreboding gun wielding? Check. Slick black impeccably bespoke outfit? Check. Abundance of fancy spy technology? Check. Wizened, grizzled mug with de rigueur steely gaze? Double-oh check.

Yep, the pieces are all in place in this first look image of Daniel Craig reprising, for the third time, his role as superspy extraordinaire James Bond in the 23rd installment of the 007 franchise, Skyfall.

The still was released on the film's website earlier today, marking the first official image from the tightly-watched movie set. This particular shot was taken from a scene set in Shanghai, though that's about the only detail producers are parting with.

An official, albeit vague, synopsis of the film has already been released, declaring that this time around, the world's most famous secret agent man will be defending MI6 against attack while Bond's loyalty to M gets tested.
