Zimmer's work will be well-known to fans of cinema, as the composer has written music for huge blockbusters like Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy and Pirates of the Caribbean.
He has been brought on board relatively late into production on the latest James Bond flick, after Dan Romer left the project in December citing creative differences.

No Time To Die sees Daniel Craig return to the iconic role of James Bond for the last time, with other familiar faces like Q (Ben Whishaw), M (Ralph Fiennes) and Moneypenny (Naomi Harris) also in tow.
New additions to the cast include Ana de Armas (Knives Out) and Academy Award winner Rami Malek, best known for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
It had previously been speculated that Zimmer would enlist the help of a fellow composer to ensure his score would be ready for the film's impending release, but no announcement has been made on this just yet.
