The upcoming James Bond film will be called No Time To Die, it has been announced.
Bosses have also revealed the movie’s official release date, confirming it will be out in UK cinemas on 3 April 2020.
The news was announced on the official 007 Twitter account with a short video featuring Bond actor Daniel Craig.
The film sees Bond having left active service and enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.
However, things soon change when his old friend Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright, from the CIA turns up asking for help.
A mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading 007 onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
No Time To Die is currently filming in the UK, Jamaica and locations around Europe, and will be Daniel Craig’s final outing as the titular secret agent.

No Time To Die will be Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond
.
While a number of his regular co-stars are to return for the next film, including Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw, there are several new additions to the cast.
These include recent Oscar winner Rami Malek, best known for his star turn in the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, who has confirmed he’ll be playing the latest adversary to 007.
Captain Marvel star Lashana Lynch and Game Night actor Billy Magnussen are also joining.
The movie, which is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, has been beset by issues in recent months, with a “controlled explosion” damaging the outside of the famous 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire earlier this year, leaving a crew member injured.
No-one working inside the studio was hurt, but one crew member outside suffered a “minor injury”.
Filming also had to be delayed when Daniel was injured while filming in Jamaica, forcing the actor, 51, to undergo “minor ankle surgery”.
The Next James Bond Is One Of These...

The first red-headed James Bond?
Idris Elba(02 of14)

So many people have asked him about it, Idris will no longer discuss the subject. But while Pierce Brosnan remarked Bond boss Barbara Broccoli wouldn't be happy with a Black Bond, she told HuffPostUK, "I don't know what Pierce is talking about."
Tom Hardy(03 of14)

Arguably too rugged for the corridors of Westminster where James Bond has to defend his actions, but very, very popular.
Chiwetel Ejiofor(04 of14)

Another actor who's been asked so many times, now he just smiles when asked.
Tom Hiddleston(05 of14)

If pouting were all that is required, Tom Hiddleston would go straight to Vauxhall Bridge.
Clive Owen(06 of14)

Has proved he has the required steeliness in any number of big screen roles, but success Stateside might make him no longer willing to commit.
Douglas Booth(07 of14)

No gun or martial arts skills required, he can just look at them, and wait for submission.
John Boyega(08 of14)

What the 'Star Wars' star may lack in stature, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm and appeal. Although the Bond villains might just want to cuddle him.
Taron Egerton(09 of14)

Proved his action hero chops in 'Kingsman: Secret Service' and signing him now would mean Barbara Broccoli and co wouldn't have to worry again for at least a decade.
Michael Fassbender(10 of14)

Like Pierce Brosnan, Irish charm could help the 'Steve Jobs' star int the role.
Sam Claflin(11 of14)

The 'Hunger Games' star represents the best of British.
Tom Hughes(12 of14)

Who, you ask? Set to play Prince Albert against Jenna Coleman in the forthcoming 'Victoria' TV series, Tom has already proven himself a master of espionage in 'The Game' and 'Page Eight', both on TV. When not if he gets the call, don't say we didn't give you the heads up...
