MI6 HQ reported a press release from Universal Pictures that started off calling the film No Time To Die, before naming it A Day To Die.
Express received the same text, but without the latter, in what could well be a typo.
Of course, if it’s not a typo, there’s the other possibility that A Day To Die is another title that was almost used.
This seems perfectly reasonable considering its likeness to not only No Time To Die, but also A Reason To Die.
Even before all this, Express.co.uk explored the idea of Bond dying in Craig’s fifth and final film.
At the time, an alleged insider claimed Bond 25 was going to be more like Logan, in which a haggard Wolverine was killed off after years in the X-Men franchise.
Plus, when considering how to conclude the running narrative across Craig’s movies, surely having his 007 die would be perfect for one jaw-dropping finale? After all, they killed Judi Dench’s M off in Skyfall didn’t they?
No Time To Die will be released in UK cinemas on April 3, 2020.
