As part of the brand's collaboration with the Bond franchise, imagery of the character will be included on packaging materials.

Heineken USA marketing exec Lesya Lysyj called Bond the "perfect fit for us" and the "epitome of the man of the world."

Speaking of manly worldliness, the swashbuckling ladies' man will open the 2012 London Olympic Games, as previously reported.

Following a personal invite to Buckingham Palace, Craig filmed an introduction for the summer games in which Bond gets an assignment to launch the event, parachuting into Olympic Stadium in Stratford, east London.
