James Bond’s next mission finally has a title!
The official Bond Twitter account has now confirmed that the forthcoming installment will be titled No Time to Die.
Production on Bond 25, as it has been called until now, has not been smooth-sailing in the slightest.
Speculation abounded that Daniel Craig, who has played Bond for the last four films, would not return to the role.
Danny Boyle had signed on as director, but left the project soon after production began, citing creative differences. His departure meant that screenwriter John Hodge, who was adapting an idea by Boyle, also left.
The director’s position was filled by Cary Joji Fukunaga, while veteran Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade penned the script. Phoebe Waller-Bridge has been brought on to liven up the screenplay.
Following that, production had to be paused more than once when Craig injured his ankle and then when an explosion occurred on set, causing minor injuries to a crew member.
Rami Malek, Christoph Waltz, Naomi Scott, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Winshaw, and Jeffrey Wright also form part of the cast.
No Time to Die opens in the UK on April 3rd, 2020, and in the US the following week on April 8th.
