No Time To Die revealed as new James Bond film title as release date is announced

The upcoming James Bond film will be called No Time To Die and will be released in April, it has been announced.

The name of the film - which will star Daniel Craig - and its release date was announced by the official James Bond Twitter account.

The tweet on Tuesday afternoon said: "Daniel Craig returns as James Bond, 007 in… NO TIME TO DIE. Out in the UK on 3 April 2020 and 8 April 2020 in the US."

The 25th Bond film, which is directed by Cary Fukunaga, will be Craig’s fifth outing as the super spy.

Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear and Jeffrey Wright are also set to return to the series, while Rami Malek is joining the cast as a Bond villain.

In the film, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica when his old friend Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright, from the CIA turns up asking for help.

A mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading the spy onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Filming has been taking place in Jamaica and at Pinewood Studios in the UK, as well as in London.

The movie has been beset by issues in recent months, with a "controlled explosion" damaging the outside of the famous 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, leaving a crew member injured.

No-one working inside the studio was hurt, but one crew member outside suffered a "minor injury".

In May, Craig was injured while filming in Jamaica, forcing the actor, 51, to undergo "minor ankle surgery".

However, the cast appeared in good spirits when they were visited on set by the Prince of Wales in June.
