LONDON -- James Bond is back, and the stars of the latest 007 flick gathered for the world premiere of "Spectre" at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Daniel Craig, in a dark tuxedo, drew cheers as he signed autographs and posed for selfies with fans along the red carpet Monday evening.

Lea Seydoux wore a shimmering gold backless gown for the night that marked her emergence as the latest in a long line of romantic interests for the suave British agent.

They were joined by Christoph Waltz, the Academy Award winner recruited to play the villain, who challenges Bond in a series of exotic locales.

The premiere drew a strong royal presence including Prince William, his wife Kate, and Prince Harry.

British critics have praised the film.
