In what he says will be his last time, actor Daniel Craig has confirmed he will play James Bond in the 25th film in the franchise. Before he said yes, there was speculation on quite a few other potential 007s. Deutsche Welle reports.
The wait is over: James Bond will return to the big screen again in 2019, once again played by British actor Daniel Craig.
After months of speculation, Craig revealed Tuesday on the US television program “The Late Show” that he will be taking up the role one last time.
“I think this is it. I just want to go out on a high note and I can’t wait,” he told host Stephen Colbert.
It will be his fifth time playing the martini-drinking M5 spy. He previously played Bond in “Casino Royale,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall” and “Spectre,” following in the footsteps of fellow actors Sean Connery and Roger Moore.
