It has been a long road to the premiere after the film's release was delayed several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The film, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, was originally scheduled for release in April 2020, but was pushed back to November before the release was changed once again to April 2021 in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
The release date was finally settled for September 30 in the UK followed by October 8 in the US.
Ahead of the release, Daniel and some of his fellow star cast members joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky to talk about the movie.

Daniel, who has appeared in five Bond films over 15 years, told Chris: 'After the last one, I thought that was it. I thought, 'I can't do any more of these'.
'I got a bit of a rest and we kind of talked about what we wanted to do with this last movie and how big we wanted to go, and it felt right, and I just got really excited about it, and I can't wait for people to see it.
'I saw a rough cut of it about a month after we finished, which is really rough, because there's no special effects or anything. When you see that version of it, you just hope and pray that it makes sense, and it did.
'Once you get the effects, and you get the music, Hans Zimmer's done the music, and it's just incredible. The story holds together.'
'Everyone is just turning in brilliant performances, and I think it's quite special.'

Speaking about the enforced delay to the film's release due to the pandemic, the actor said: 'It's odd enough with a movie, when you've finished it, and you put it out and you kind of go, 'Woah, I hope it's good.'
'But when there is a two-year gap between finishing it and putting it out, it just makes things even stranger.'
