James Bond’s latest adventure “No Time to Die,” has hit another speed bump. The upcoming instalment in the British spy series, has been postponed yet again.

The movie will now release in theatres on Oct. 8, 2021, after it was originally scheduled to open on April 2, 2021.

It’s hardly a surprise that the Bond film has been pushed back to fall. Hollywood has been widely anticipating that “No Time to Die” would face another delay as coronavirus cases continue to skyrocket.

MGM is rolling out “No Time to Die” in North America, while Universal has international rights. Since the movie carries a massive price tag around $200 million, it relies on substantial global ticket sales to turn a profit. That’s nearly impossible to achieve at a time when most movie theatres are closed, and the few that remain open have been operating at a reduced capacity.

This new announcement marks the film’s third delay in the last 10 months. In March of 2020, “No Time to Die” became the first tentpole to shift its release date amid the pandemic.

Cary Joji Fukunaga directed “No Time to Die,” the 25th entry in the Bond franchise and the final go-around for star Daniel Craig. The cast also includes Rami Malek as Bond’s adversary Safin, Lashana Lynch as a new ‘007 agent and Léa Seydoux as Bond’s love interest. Ana de Armas, Ben Whishaw and Christoph Waltz also star.
