No Time To Die stars Daniel Craig and Rami Malek reunited for a hysterical Saturday Night Live sketch, which showed them competing to play Prince.
While mistakenly dressed as a member of the British monarchy, the 53-year-old James Bond faced off with Malek, 40, and Kenan Thompson for the part of the late musical icon.
Craig arrives late to the audition after Thompson, 43, has already bested the Mr. Robot star for the role.
Auditioning: Daniel Craig and Rami Malek teamed up for a hysterical Saturday Night Live sketch, which showed them competing to play Prince
While his peers' over-the-top outfits could have been ripped straight out of the Purple Rain singer's closet, Craig curiously wore medieval garb.
After he asks if he's 'too late' to the audition for the prince, the father-of-one is questioned if he 'even read the script' based off his costume choice.
'Yeah, I thought it was a horror movie that was about racism,' he replies matter-of-factly.

Wrong costume: Craig, who plays himself, arrives late to the audition after Thompson, 43, earned the part after a tense face off against the Mr. Robot star
Opps: While his peers are perfectly dressed in over-the-top that looked ripped form the Purple Rain singer's closet, Craig stuck out in medieval garb
Like the other actors, who were asked to portray Prince in wild scenarios like getting 'shot in the stomach' or stepping on a Lego, Craig must prove himself by pretending to see 'an adorable dog' that ends up biting him.
His performance is purposely painful, with him even losing his balance at one point.
Despite the casting director telling Craig his audition was terrible, he's told: 'You're James bond, so you got the part.'

Later in the night, Craig made another surprise appearance in a sketch that featured him on an awkward night out with Cecily Strong.
As they sit down to watch a man named Angelo perform, she tells him the singer is known for taking people on a 'spectacular musical journey.'
'Apparently all he needs is one word and songs just flow out of him,' she explains to her skeptical dinner date.

Unique: As they sit down to watch a man name, Angelo, she tells him the performer is known for taking people on a 'spectacular musical journey'
While he attempts to have the singer use the word bicycle or banana in a song, Craig grows frustrated when Angelo sings incoherent words.
Unlike Strong's character who is amazed by the performance, Craig tells her he 'can't understand him.'
'Because he's not from this country?' she asks with distain, while he points out he's also from another country but she understands him.

'No. I don't,' she lies as Angelo brings dancer Todd, played by Malek, on the stage, causing her to lose it with excitement.
After he describes Todd as looking 'nervous' on stage, his date accuses him of being insensitive as the duo tell their story of 'coming here from a war-torn country.'
Eventually, the pair manage to win Craig over as they dance with ribbons and sing Foreigner's I Want to Know What Love Is.

Among the evening's hysterical sketches, Malek teamed up with Pete Davidson for a musical parody of Netflix's survival drama Squid Game.
The spoof country number, a riff on Branchez & Big Wet’s Turn Up On the Weekend, starred Pete Davidson and Malek, whose characters are broke.
As they compare themselves to the impoverished contestants in the Squid Game, the pair participate in a lethal game of red light and green light.

While sporting a teal tracksuits, Davidson croons: 'There’s a robot girl who caught me running, better duck behind the nearest guy.'
'I just won the Squid Game, killed all of my friends to win the Squid Game,' he goes on, before pushing Malek off glass steps to his death.
After his win, however, he ends up losing the massive cash prize on a risky bet, prompting him to compete again in the Squid Game.
Unfortunately, luck was not on his side
