A looming spectre: Daniel Craig was spotted running frantically through the streets of Mexico City on Wednesday while filming the new Bond movie
And the following day saw the 47-year-old running across the rubble, most likely in search of the culprits behind the explosion.
Once on the main thoroughfare he was met by large inflatable skeletons were attached to a series of cars and trucks, standing tall in all their menacing glory to recreate the Mexican holiday.
A host of extras dressed in macabre costumes gathered for the set piece.

With their faces elaborately painted to resemble skeletons and their clothing customised to further portray them as the living dead, the extras got ready to march in a parade.
The carnival-like scenes were reminiscent of the 1973 Bond classic Live And Let Die, which was shot in such locations and New Orleans and Jamaica and featured Mardi Gras-style jazz funerals.
Recently, a poster was released for the highly anticipated flick as it seems the star took some fashion tips from a previous incarnation of the franchise.

'While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.'
