Daniel Craig Has Yet To Decide Whether Or Not His Future Will Feature Another James Bond Film As Critics Weigh In On His Latest 007 Blockbuster, Spectre.
Members of the media and lucky film fans caught the first screening of the much-anticipated film in London on Wednesday night (21Oct15) and many early reviews have been mixed.
Meanwhile, Craig, who has portrayed 007 in four films, admits he's still not sure if he'll be back for a fifth, just days after telling Time Out magazine he'd rather "slash my wrists" than play the superspy again. He also said, "I'm over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on... For at least a year or two, I just don't want to think about it. I don't know what the next step is. I've no idea. Not because I'm trying to be cagey.
"I'm not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money."
But now it appears he may have been a little hasty.
"I'm quite straightforward and I say things when I feel it and then I change my mind," he tells the BBC. "I'm just like everybody else. People latch onto things. There's not a lot I can do about that."
Craig, who has scored a producing credit on Spectre, admits he still gets a kick out of being part of the franchise, stating, "I'm still enjoying it much more than I ever did because I've been allowed to bring what I know to the role. I've been involved with every aspect of filmmaking."
But, asked if he had made a decision about carrying on as Bond, he adds, "No, this is what's going on at the moment. I'm enjoying this."
The British actor made his debut as 007 in 2006's Casino Royale. He has also played the suave superspy in Quantum of Solace and 2012's Skyfall, the most successful Bond movie in franchise history.
