The release date for the new James Bond film has reportedly been pushed back so that Daniel Craig can concentrate on Rachel Weisz’s pregnancy.

Danny Boyle is set to direct the latest instalment in the Bond franchise and is rumoured to have already started working on the script for Bond 25.

However, Craig and wife Rachel Weisz announced earlier this week that they are expecting their first “little human” together.

An insider revealed to The Sun that “pushing back” the schedules suits everyone on-board the project.

The insider told the publication: “Pushing back the schedules suits all parties.

“Daniel can concentrate on matters at home with Rachel, which are pretty life-changing, to say the least.

“And Danny can now afford to add the finishing touches to his latest project without the prospect of a clash with a monster project like James Bond.”

Actress Weisz, 48, said the couple are “so happy” and can’t wait to meet their “little human”.

Weisz broke the happy news in an interview with the New York Times, saying: “I’ll be showing soon. Daniel and I are so happy.

“We’re going to have a little human. We can't wait to meet him or her. It's all such a mystery.”

Weisz already has 11-year-old son Henry with Hollywood director Darren Aronofsky while James Bond star Craig is already a father to 25-year-old daughter Ella from his marriage to Fiona Loudon.

Weisz and Craig started dating in 2010, before tying the knot in New York the following year.
