Daniel Craig will play James Bond again, after saying he would rather slit his wrists
Craig's return to 007 was a giant question mark following the release of "Spectre" in November 2015. He went on record saying he would never want to take on the part again ("I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists," he told a British magazine), though he also called playing Bond the "best job in the world" in a later interview. Rumors were percolating that Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston or Damian Lewis could be donning the tuxedo, though MGM and Eon Productions always wanted Craig.
Director Sam Mendes, who was behind the camera for "Skyfall" and "Spectre," definitely won't be returning for another installment. The production companies will announce additional cast members and a director at a later date.
By taking on his fifth turn as 007, Craig will resume the title of second longest-running Bond in movie history. Only Sir Roger Moore has played Bond more in a total of seven films. MGM and Eon Productions will release Bond 25 in theaters November 8, 2019.
