Bond 25 title: What is Bond 25 called? Is the title Shatterhand?

James Bond is one of the longest-running movie franchises to date. With 26 movies since 1962, the franchise has earned a staggering amount of money. Six actors have portrayed Bond, with Daniel Craig set for his last outing as 007 in the upcoming untitled Bond 25.

What is the title of Bond 25? Is it Shatterhand?

Barbara Broccoli herself has confirmed the title of Bond 25 will not be Shatterhand.

The James Bond blog mi6-hq.com published a photo from Facebook, which seemed to show Broccoli’s signature on an image which had the word Shatterhand on it.

Broccoli apparently added the words “It’s not” right over the rumoured title.

Mi6-hq.com wrote the photo came from autograph-hunter India Grace’s facebook and came with Grace’s selfie with Broccoli.

The selfie adds credence to the photo but nothing has yet been confirmed.

Shatterhand was the codename for the villain Blofeld in Ian Fleming’s novels.

When the rumours surrounding the suspected title began, Twitter users respond as you might expect.

Plenty found the name comical and were opposed to it.

Little White Lie’s Hannah Woodhead wrote: “Shatterhand sounds like the villain in a Simpsons Bond spoof”

Variety’s Guy Lodge spoofed the title into lyrics: “It’s lonely being 007 / Halfway to hell, halfway to heaven / It’s all in the fist, all in the wrist / Alone I stand, Shatterhand”

Bond 25 has few plot or cast details revealed.

The latest addition to the production is Rami Malek as a villain.

Bond 25 will be directed by Cary Fukunaga replaced Danny Boyle.

The script comes from veteran Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

The pair had initially been replaced Boyle’s frequent collaborator John Hodge, but returned under Fukunaga’s helm.

Scott Z Burns has also joined on to give edits to the script.

Bond 25’s release date has been pushed back multiple times but is now scheduled firmly, we hope.

Bond 25 is out in cinemas on April 8, 2020.
