Daniel Craig Will Be James Bond Again

Daniel Craig famously said in 2015 that he'd rather "slash his wrists" than play James Bond again, and that if he were to play 007 once more, it'd "only be for the money". On an entirely unrelated note, the actor has reportedly signed up to star in two more editions of the long-running franchise.

After seemingly endless back-and-forth, and more mentions of Tom Hiddleston than most of us can bear to stomach, The Sun has reported that Craig has finally succumbed to the wishes of 007 producer Barbara Broccoli (and presumably a truckload of cash) and will reprise the role in two forthcoming films – the first of which will be released in November 2019.

"There was plenty of talk about who would be the next Bond but Barbara has managed to talk Daniel into two more films," a source said. "He is loved by audiences around the world and has driven a real resurgence for the movies at the box office, so bosses knew they couldn't lose him just yet."

The tabloid also claims that the second of Craig's two new Bond films could be a remake of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which starred the one-Bond-wonder George Lazenby, and saw Bond settle down and marry Diana Rigg's Tracy Di Vicenzo.
