The premiere of No Time To Die had already moved from April to November 2020, due to the pandemic. It has now been further delayed until 2 April 2021 "in order to be seen by a worldwide theatrical audience", a statement on the film's website said.

"We understand the delay will be disappointing to our fans, but we now look forward to sharing No Time To Die next year."

No Time To Die is due to be actor Daniel Craig's final appearance as the British secret service agent.

The last Bond film, Spectre, took almost £690 million (NZ $1346m) at worldwide box offices in 2015.
