In an interview with TechRadar Gaming at an event adjacent to Summer Game
Fest 2026 , where actors Alastair Mackenzie, Priyanga Burford, Lennie James, and Nomie Nakai, along with game director Martin Emborg, discussed IO Interactive's newest release, they were asked to recommend what Bond movies they'd recommend to players to watch before, after, or alongside First Light
. "That's kind of like saying, what's your favorite Bond movie, isn't it?" joked Q actor Mackenzie, before James, who plays John Greenway, decided on
the 1969 flick starring George Lazenby, On Her Majesty's Secret Service . Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

"It's old school, but weirdly, even though he only did it once, I think Lazenby nailed Bond in that, until Daniel [Craig], actually, it was a unique telling of a Bond adventure."

Burford, the actress behind M, went with Skyfall , one of the most popular films in Craig's 007 series.

"I'm going to go really obvious and say play the game, and then watch Skyfall . You get the beginning and the beginning of the end," she said.

Emborg agreed with Burford's recommendation, but said, "There's something really interesting in watching No Time to Die , and then playing this game."

"I really like the contrast of [what] he says in Skyfall: ' Well, everyone needs a hobby. Well, what's yours? Resurrection.' And so there's something meeting Bond at the very end, and then seeing him step out of the ocean, a young man. I think there's something quite moving."

Mackenzie added that he "loved every Bond movie" growing up, "even the ones that we look back on now, say they aren't great." However, he loves The Man with the Golden Gun for its locations.

"All of that kind of affected my entire life, really," he said. "I'm
thinking, I sort of identify that as being paradise." What to read next I havent played a Bond game since Goldeneye on the N64 but 007 First Light could finally change that The game is not enough you'll (Sky)fall for this epic 007 First Light merch 007 First Light's Q says teaching Bond to tie a
bow tie was a 'very little special relationship moment' for the characters

Emborg continued, saying it's a difficult question because there are 25
movies and compared it to deciding one's favorite type of music or deciding how you feel depending on the occasion.

"It is really like, what do you feel like today? It's like, what's your favorite type of music? It's like that depends. Did I just break up with someone? That's going to change it."

007 First Light is now available on PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X and Series S , and PC. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will launch later this year.
