You gotta get out more among people!
One hopes. I think it could still be a ways out, though.
It may depend on the level of collaboration they're hoping to have with the (eventual) title song artist. Hasn't really been an issue on the last two films with Newman. But Arnold was down to work quite early (if I'm recalling my Some Kind of Hero chapter correctly) with Chris Cornell on Casino, as an example. Of course he was the composer-in-residence at the time, so that made sense.
Much as I've enjoyed Tom's (underrated, IMO) work on the last two films -- I'd love nothing more than a full-blown Arnold finale to the Craig era with strong title song integration from the very start.
I think they just trying to be careful they really don't want things screwed up this time.

Earlier he works on movies like Mission Impossible Fallout, The Mummy 2017, Jason Bourne and Harry Potter 7.
Interesting
SPECTRE’s first image dropped in Feb. 2015, 2 months after principal photography began.
June will be 2 months since B25 started filming, so hopefully they’ll drop something for us. We’ll see!
Anything is possible of course, but as for a specific answer to the question.....why would it be pushed back again?
Because he wants it pushed back, nothing would make him happier to see DC quit and then fulfil his wet dreams and have Aidan Turner announced as taking over.
I seem to remember saying you wouldn't be in threads to do with Bond 25 @Mendes4Lyfe, I guess your new wooden spoon arrived earlier than you were expecting.
I was quite enjoying the lack of your smug negativity but I guess like the inevitability of an unloved season you would return.
Craig is the best thing to happen to the series in decades.
Agree with you and @Shardlake-- the best thing to happen to the series since the Golden era (although SP was flawed-- and that's the only reason why I think we're seeing DC back in B25-- he wanted to go out on a high (people say money, and I say: when you've made what DC has made since '05/'06, he's only moving laterally financially. He could have retired after SF and not made another film, period-- living off the residuals from SF alone, with no more injuries, lol).
As a Bond fan for 40 years, I am safely in the camp that feels quite blessed that this man took over the tuxedo.
Same here. He’s definitely my second favorite after Connery, and collectively their two runs are my favorites (DAF and SP being the only duds). Very glad he is returning for B25, and I’m optimistic it will be far superior to SP. Since production, barring the injury, I’ve gotten great vibes about it.
DAF a dud? It's absolutely not. Like the best second tier films its wackily off beat and strange and always entertaining.
I personally enjoy Rog, Dalton and even Laz's Bonds more than Craig. But he's a solid Bond. I've never particularly warmed to his take (too thuggish and indestructible) but that doesn't mean I don't respect him.
I was initially disappointed by the lack of a title too, but the intriguing cast and the very exciting locations we've seen so far have more than made up for it.
Because they said they'd announce the title @boldfinger. And beside a title gives us an idea of what the film is about. Heck, sometimes writers come up with the title before they think of a story to write!
But my main concern in the case of Bond 25 is that they did announce they would give the title, then they did not. I think that's a blunder, for one, and it can also be symptomatic of other problems. Don't get me wrong: there's a lot of things I like with the production do far. Love the casting, the tidbits of plot we got, love the locations, the pictures, etc. I also think Craig looks better now than he did in SF or SP. But frankly they have no excuse for the title.
I know I invariably do. But many don't.
When did EON announce a title reveal?
