However, once again, the same Twitter account has informed us that the movie will hit screens on 2nd April 2021. If you think that it is a lot of time and they might make it even better, No! Director Cary Joni Fukhnaga stated that the film had been finished. He added that one could tweak and fiddle all they want, but the movie will not necessarily get better. He had mentally and emotionally finished the film!

No Time To Die Streaming Platform: Why are they not releasing it on streaming services?
The big streaming services like Apple and Netflix indeed want to acquire the movie, but it hasn’t happened yet. MGM studio lost almost $30 million to $50 million because of the delays. Other studios like Sony and Paramount have pocketed tens of millions by selling Greyhound, Coming 2 America, and some other movies to the streaming services during the pandemic. However, it’s not that easy for No Time To Die, the production cost of the film is almost $250 million, and the studio is looking for a deal of $600 million.
Also, many promotional partners like Omega watches, Land Rover, Heineken, etc. will not be thrilled with just streaming services. Hence, an MGM spokesperson announced that the movie is not for sale, and it has been postponed to preserve the theatrical express for the audience.
No Time To Die Cast: Who will be next 007?
This is Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond, other than him; we have Lea Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Naomi Harris, Ben Wishaw, Rory Kinnear, and Jeffrey Wright.
Rami Malek will play Safin. In a video, Malek stated that as a villain, he would make sure that Bond doesn’t have easy in his 25th outing. Ana de Armas is playing Paloma, and we have Lashana Lynch as Nomi. She will get the title of 007 after Daniel Craig, for which she recently faced a lot of backlashes.
