Appearing last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Daniel Craig, who is great in Logan Lucky and you should totally see it, admits that he's been "cagey" about his return to the role of James Bond. Well, that's quite an understatement you've got there, Mr. Craig. It's true, he's ducked and weaved around the question better than Floyd Mayweather, but he has now finally given his answer.
Of course he's coming back. But not for long.
“I think this is it. I just want to go out on a high note and I can’t wait."
Awesome, and let the speculation begin (already) over his replacement.
Craig admits he made his decision a couple of months ago, and that's cool. When he spilled the beans was entirely up to him. One can only expect this will lead to a flurry of news on 007, beginning hopefully with a director then a title. Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) and David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) are among the top contenders.
The next James Bond flick arrives on November 8th 2019.
