Bond 25 will be released in the United States on April 8, 2020, but will arrive in the United Kingdom five days earlier, as is customary with this British franchise. The artist's title and theme song has not been announced yet, and I shoot for The stones that roll take a crack at the coveted concert.

Waltz, who inherited Blofeld's iconic role from predecessors such as Donald Pleasance, Max von Sydow and Telly Savalas, recently played Robert Rodriguez and James CameronS Alita: Battle Angel.
