Hinted at departure
Craig had earlier hinted at his departure from the James Bond series while talking to a German news outlet. "Someone else needs to have a go,” Craig had said. Craig’s supposedly last James Bond film, 'No Time to Die' is set to release in April 2020. In October, the shooting of the film ended and has entered the post-production phase. After the shooting was wrapped up, the actor opened up about his love for the James Bond series.

"This may be hard to believe, but I love the fact I'm Bond. We're in rare air, making Bond movies. It is one of the most intense, fulfilling things I've ever done, but it takes a lot of energy and I'm getting old. I'm getting creaky," Craig told a British Daily.

In September, a video was posted by Springhouse on Twitter where Craig can be seen bidding farewell to the film with an emotional speech.
“I just want to say, and I am really quite drunk now so I won’t go on for long, this has been one of the best, most wonderful experiences I have ever had,” said Craig.
