Fukunaga established his directing bona fides with a string of acclaimed projects, from the South American immigrant drama “Sin Nombre” (2009) to the entire first season of HBO’s “True Detective.” But nothing could have prepared him for the trials he faced helming “No Time to Die,” the 25th installment in the James Bond franchise and star Daniel Craig’s last film as the MI6 agent.
