Commenting regarding the association with the company, Lashana Lynch said: “My first phone was actually a Nokia 3210 when I was about 10-years-old. In retrospect, it was my smartphone of the 90s. Being able to change the buttons and faces, whilst playing Snake blew my mind! So, after seeing how much Nokia smartphones have evolved over the years from my childhood to now, it’s exciting to play Nomi who helps unveil a new smartphone for this iconic brand.”
As per the report, the tagline for the Nokia’s upcoming 5G smartphone for the Bond campaign will be “the only gadget you will ever need” and more information about the phone will be revealed on 19th March, when it will go official.
The film No Time To Die was set to get released on 2nd April but the producers have confirmed that the release has been postponed to 2nd November because of the coronavirus outbreak.
