With another Bond movie just around the corner, Daniel Craig is doing the whole promotional thing. People keep asking the man whether or not he’ll return to play Bond, the answers have ranged from maybe to a resounding no.
Asked yet again if he’ll do another one, he leaves no doubt that he’s over the role unless they give him a long break first:
“Now? I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on. I haven’t given it any thought. 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. Who the fuck knows? At the moment, we’ve done it. I’m not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money.”
So if someone else does take over the part now, who would he like to see?
“Look, I don’t give a fuck. Good luck to them! All I care about is that if I stop doing these things we’ve left it in a good place and people pick it up and make it better. Make it better, that’s all.”
This is kind of abrasive, to the point where it sounds like Skyfall wasn’t too much of a picnic. Remember, the movie had serious re-writes.
