Bond 25 title revealed: Daniel Craig has No Time To Die
The forthcoming James Bond film will be called No Time To Die, it has been announced.
The movie, starring Daniel Craig as 007, will be released on April 3 2020 in the UK and April 8 in the US.
The news was announced on the official 007 Twitter account. It trumps what fans had thought would be the 25th Bond film's name earlier this year, when the working title Shatterhand became public.
That title alluded to a character from Ian Fleming's 1964 novel You Only Live Twice. The name is the alias of supervillain Ernst Blofeld, who was played by Christoph Waltz in the last Bond film, Spectre. Speaking to The Inquirer, Fukunaga seemed to suggest that Waltz might be returning in the upcoming film.
The title No Time To Die marks a Fleming-esque return to the more classic names of older Bond Films, such as From Russia With Love and Live and Let Die.

The film has so far proved to be one of the more tumultuous creative efforts from Eon Productions. Cary Fukunaga is directing after Danny Boyle left the project, and Pheobe Waller-Bridge was brought onto the writing team in the spring to improve the female characters.
It has been reported that the plot of No Time To Die will concern genetic warfare.
