Daniel Craig May Go Again, Keeps 'Bond' Chances Alive
Daniel Craig has changed his mind many times over, often stating that he won't be returning following Spectre. But he seems willing to go back on his word when it suits, and this time is no exception. If we take him for his word, there's a good change a fifth Bond will have his name on it.
Speaking at the New Yorker Fest in Manhattan, Craig said that "when you're asked 20 feet from the end of a Marathon whether you'd do another marathon, the answer is simple. It's like, "No, I won't."
"But the things I get to do on a Bond movie and what the type of work it is, there is no other job like it, there is no other job like, and if I were to stop doing it, just say, I would miss it terribly because you are working with — I maybe disparagingly said the movie industry’s getting a little bit of, you know, of the focus group thing and the whole thing.
"A Bond movie doesn’t work like that, it’s literally from the skin of your teeth you get it out and then it’s released less than six months later after you finish it. There’s no time for focus groups. There’s no time for that. You make the movie, it gets out. It’s one of the most thrilling things as an actor you can do."
It makes sense that it would carry a hell of a lot of weight, being asked to take on a film of large scale immediately following the one you just finished. Either way though, people are probably getting sick of the question.
Will he or won't he? It's hard to care anymore.
