According to the plot synopsis from MGM, the 25th installment of the classic spy series, based on character created by Ian Fleming, will see Bond enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica after leaving active service.
“His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology,” the release read.
The title reveal comes two months after first look from the films Jamaica sets was released amid reports of delays.

Craig, who returns for his fifth and final stint as Agent 007, had to undergo minor ankle surgery after sustaining an injury while shooting in May.
Troubles didn’t seem to end for the film, directed by Cary Fukunaga, as a crew member was injured in the following month after a “controlled explosion” on the sets of the film at the UK’s iconic Pinewood Studios.
The movie also stars Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, Rory Kinnear, David Dencik, Dali Benssalah, and Ralph Fiennes.
“Fleabag” creator-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is on board the movie to “polish” the script.
“No Time to Die” hits the UK screens on April 3 and the US theatres on April 8, 2020.
