Shortly before this announcement, an open letter was published on the famous franchise fan blog MI-6 HQ calling for the film to be delayed , according to the media . "The health of film fans and their families is far more important worldwide," the letter said. The letter also warned that the premiere in April of this year during a virus spread could be devastating to the movie box office revenue.

"No Time to Die" will be the 25th James Bond film in film history.

In the fall of 2018, it was announced that the new "bondage" movie would be made by Japanese-born American director Kerry Fukunaga.
