SALT LAKE CITY — “Bond 25” is no more. Instead, there is only “No Time to Die.”
The 007 YouTube channel released a 30-second teaser trailer for the next “James Bond” franchise film, revealing the title to be “No Time to Die.”
The upcoming film will be the final “James Bond” film starring Daniel Craig.
“No Time to Die” will be the fifth Bond film starring Craig. He first appeared as Bond in 2006’s “Casino Royale,” taking over the role for Pierce Brosnan. Craig also starred in “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall,” and “Spectre.”
Per ComicBook.com, some suggested titles for Bond 25 included “Eclipse,” “Shatterhand” and “A Reason to Die.”
There’s little known about the upcoming Bond film. As I wrote for the Deseret News back in July, multiple reports suggested that Lashana Lynch would play the role of 007 in the new “James Bond” film, though Craig will stay play Bond.
“There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says ‘Come in 007’, and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman,” the unnamed insider told the Daily Mail, according to E! News. “It’s a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond, but he’s been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman.”
Bond will try to seduce women in the film but it won’t work on the 007 character, E! News reports. The term “Bond girls,” which is often used in the “James Bond” films, will be replaced with “Bond women.”
“This is a Bond for the modern era who will appeal to a younger generation while sticking true to what we all expect in a ‘Bond’ film,” the unnamed insider told Daily Mail. “There are spectacular chase sequences and fights, and Bond is still Bond but he’s having to learn to deal with the world of #MeToo.”
