And why wouldn’t they? Craig has been awesome as Bond.<\/p>\n
But supposedly back in May, Sony Pictures offered the actor 68 million pounds, or approximately $100 million, to continue as Bond for 2 more Bond movies. Starting with James Bond 25.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Supposedly the situation is that Sony’s distribution deal ended with SPECTRE. And the studio is desperate to keep Daniel Craig as Bond for 2 more pictures as they transition in a younger actor for Bond as a “long-term” successor.<\/p>\n
Currently the actor is “undecided” if he’ll return.<\/p>\n
Craig has not been shy about how he feels on playing the role, something along the lines of slitting his own wrists. Personally, I hope the actor comes back, not only for my enjoyment. But why wouldn’t he? The actor really hasn’t had a success outside of Bond since he took the role on. But we’ll see.<\/p>\n
But the mention of a “younger actor” is a little misleading. The mention of younger actor<\/em> makes me think CW casting by way of\u00a0Vampire Diaries\u00a0<\/em>or something. But\u00a0reportedly contenders for the role are: Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, and Michael Fassbender… so I guess there’s some hope, and plans to handle the recasting right.<\/p>\n But either way, I hope Daniel Craig will return. Either way, I’ll definitely keep you posted as to what happens.<\/p>\n
