The long-anticipated release of the James Bond film “No Time to Die” has once again been delayed.

The new release window is now said to be 2021 due to the increasing toll the coronavirus pandemic has had on the theatrical business.

“No Time to Die” was originally supposed to open in April 2020 but was pushed back to Nov. 12 in the U.K. and Nov. 20 in the U.S.

It was one of the first Hollywood films to abandon its release before cinemas in the U.S. shut down in mid-March because of the novel virus.
