After months of uncertainty, Daniel Craig has now confirmed that he will return as 007 in the next James Bond film.
Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Craig was asked about it and his reticence in interviews this week to confirm or deny.
Colbert asked him straight out:
“Will you return as James Bond”
to which he replied:
“Yes” and confirmed this will be his last: “I think this is it. I just want to go out on a high note. I can’t wait.”
That would give Craig five official Bond films in all, behind both Sean Connery and Roger Moore’s six and seven respectively, but ahead of Pierce Brosnan’s four, Timothy Dalton’s two and George Lazenby’s one.
At last report, Yann Demange is the frontrunner to direct the next Bondfilm.
