Ben Affleck has reportedly been asked not to attend the premiere of 'No Time to Die'

A source in Los Angeles told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "This film premiere has been a long time coming and franchise bosses want the spotlight to be on the stars of the film.

"It would be a disaster if it was all about Ben's mushy PDAs with Ana overshadowing the event. A circus sideshow is strictly off the menu and the head honchos want to keep it all on-brand."

'No Time to Die' will be Craig's fifth and final outing as the fictional MI6 agent.

The eagerly-awaited movie - which had its release date pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic - sees Ana play a CIA agent assisting Bond.

Meanwhile, a source claimed earlier this year that Ana enjoys spending time with Ben's kids.

The 32-year-old actress has relished the opportunity to get to know Ben's three children - Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, eight - as their romance has gathered pace.

A source said: "Ben and Ana are happy together and have enjoyed spending time with his family."

Ben, 47, and ex-wife Jennifer Garner are determined to make their co-parenting arrangement work for the benefit of their children.

And the current dynamic is one that works well for everyone involved - including Ana, who met Ben on the set of 'Deep Water' in 2019.

The insider explained: "He and Jen continue to work together on co-parenting. They make it work. Everyone is in a good place."
