Coronavirus: James Bond's upcoming release No Time To Die's China publicity tour cancelled
Los Angeles/IBNS: Makers of the upcoming James Bond movie have scrapped their publicity tour to China amid coronavirus outbreak in the country which has claimed nearly 1700 lives so far.
No Time to Die will feature actor Daniel Craig as James Bond for the last time.
The makers of the latest James Bond blockbuster have been forced to postpone a lucrative publicity tour in China as cinemas in the country remain shut in efforts to contain the coronavirus, reported The Times.
Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, 70,000 cinema screens are currently closed across China.
The movie is due to release in the UK on Apr 3.
