6 Reasons Daniel Craig Will (Probably) Do Another James Bond Movie
5. He Was Already Contracted To Do Bond 25 (At One Point)
Of course, the suggestion that Craig even needs to be wooed back with money is a strange one, given that when the announcement was made he'd be doing Bond 24 (which became Spectre) it was as a two-movie deal with Bond 25; there was even talk of doing them back-to-back, which has resurfaced with the recent Radar Online report.
Publicly, nothing has been said to counter this idea, which means that through all the ensuing speculation there's been the distinct possibility he may already be locked in to do another film. Massive if true, right?
Because there's simply so many insider leaks, however, it seems like something has changed from what was first reported. Perhaps the earlier stories got it wrong, or Craig may have exercised an opt-out policy (he's certainly a big enough star to be able to do that), meaning negotiations have indeed gone back to square one. Although, if so, none of that's been officially conveyed, meaning that for all we know the Bond 25 deal stands and this is a moot point.
Big as this is, on the probable chance the contract has been torn up, it's worth going through the rest of the options.
