James Bond bosses have confirmed there will be no more delays for No Time To Die, with the premiere taking place next month.
Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007 was initially slated to be released last year, but was pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The super spy will now be hitting the big screen on September 30, with a star-studded world premiere in London just days before.
‘The World Premiere for #NoTimeToDie will take place on Tuesday 28 September 2021 at London’s @RoyalAlbertHall,’ a tweet from the official account announced.
‘Producers Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and director Cary Joji Fukunaga will join Daniel Craig on the red carpet.’
The long-awaited upcoming movie is set to be release in September, with Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, Naomie Harris and Lashana Lynch joining Daniel in the cast.
While we’ve been waiting years for the blockbuster, the plot has still managed to remain a closely-guarded secret.
However, Ben Winshaw, who reprises his role of Q, teased that some loose ends from earlier films will finally be tied up.
‘[It was] really special. It was quite moving really. This takes threads that began in earlier films and finishes them,’ he told the I newspaper.
‘I’m gonna be intrigued to see it and how it feels, this thing that we made before this whole thing happened, and life was completely turned over.’

With the film’s release finally in sight, speculation has once again ramped up over who could be taking over from Daniel as Bond.
Rumours of a potential replacement have been circulating since the actor announced that he would be leaving the iconic role.
Former Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page has joined those being tipped to step into the iconic tuxedo, alongside Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston.
But an insider has poured cold water on the rumour mill, insisting that producer Barbara Broccoli is waiting until No Time To Die has been released before considering anyone for the job.

A source told the Daily Star: ‘Rege may be the bookies favourite, but producer Barbara Broccoli won’t consider a new 007 until Daniel finishes his No Time To Die promotion – simply out of respect for Daniel.
‘We are almost a year away from the process really beginning. And in that time other names will come into the picture.
‘Barbara is never one to simply pick the hottest star of the moment. Everyone has to audition and go through a vetting process – everyone… yes everyone has to pass her tests.’
No Time To Die will be released on September 30.
