James Bond's 25th film No Time To Die which is scheduled to release in April has been pushed to November 2020 due to Coronavirus outbreak. Earlier in the day Bond movie fans have come together to urge the makers to delay the release of the upcoming film in the franchise, "No Time To Die", due to the global coronavirus outbreak.
Prominent Bond fan site MI6-HQ.com wrote an open letter requesting the delay of "No Time to Die," the upcoming installment in the British spy series that brings back Daniel Craig as Agent 007 for a final time.
After carefully considering all the request the makers have decided to postpone the movie until November 2020. No Time to Die is now scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 25, 2020. More details about this will be announced soon.
The virus has already prompted theatre closures in China and Italy. The significant portion of ticket sales from previous Bond entry "Spectre" came from international markets.
"No Time to Die" will be the fifth portrayal of 007 by Craig, who has previously starred in "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace", "Skyfall" and "Spectre".
It is being widely speculated that Craig will make way for a female Bond, to be played by Lashana Lynch, in the next film of the series.
Earlier this year, the makers scrapped that the Chinese press tour and premiere due to the coronavirus epidemic.
