Actor Daniel Craig -

Dying can wait… and so can the public.

This is apparently the reasoning of those responsible for MGM and Universal who, according to Deadline, have decided to postpone once again the release of the new installment of the adventures of James Bond.

Neither studio has yet commented on the news, which originally comes from the Dutch site BN DeStern, which earlier this week quoted a cinema manager.

According to information from Carlo Lambregts,

is now scheduled for November 2021. And Deadline's information seems to confirm this change, since several “promotional partners” of the film have also been made aware of this not really unexpected change. .

Too expensive

Also according to Deadline, MGM would have offered several streaming platforms to pay $ 600 million to obtain the rights to the film, after an exclusive screening.

None were prepared to shell out that amount, despite the obvious appeal of the franchise and the fact that this is Daniel Craig's last appearance as Her Majesty's spy.

The studio is nonetheless convinced that

will be a huge hit at the box office and refuses to lower the price, therefore preferring to postpone the release once again rather than to maintain it in such a catastrophic context for theaters whose reopening is not planned.

The first echoes suggest that the film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga is a great James Bond.

The latest,

, grossed nearly $ 800 million at the box office while the franchise's biggest box office,

, released in 2012, grossed $ 1.1 billion.
