The news of the delay was announced on the film’s official Twitter account, and it comes amid growing concerns over the threat of deadly coronavirus, which has infected more than 92,000 worldwide and killed 3,110 globally according to the latest figures by World Health Organisation.
Earlier this week, prominent James Bond fan site MI6-HQ 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.
The makers had also scrapped the Chinese press tour and premiere due to the coronavirus epidemic. The world premiere for No Time To Die was scheduled to take place on March 31 in London.
No Time To Die is Craig’s fifth portrayal as James Bond. He has essayed the role in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum Of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).
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.
No Time To Die is the 25th film in the Bond series. It has been directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and also stars Lea Seydoux, Rami Malek and Ana De Armas.
