“MGM, Universal and Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced today that the release of No Time to Die, the 25th installment in the James Bond series, will be postponed until April 2, 2021 so that it can be seen in theaters all over the world, ”

This opus, whose world premiere was initially scheduled for March 31 in London, had already been postponed for the first time to November 12 for the United Kingdom and to November 25 for the United States.
The decision to postpone its release again comes as the world faces a worrying resurgence of the novel coronavirus epidemic.
In the United Kingdom, the most bereaved country in Europe with more than 42,000 dead, local restrictions are increasing to restrict the spread of the disease, which infects almost 7,000 new people every day.
“We understand this delay will disappoint our fans, but we can't wait to share (with you) No Time To Die next year
,” the production added in a second tweet.
