Daniel Craig says no regrets about quitting James Bond role, adds 'I'm gone, but...'

Actor Daniel Craig recently spilled beans about quitting iconic James Bond role. Moreover, 54-year-old star also revealed his discussions with franchise producer Barbara Broccoli about killing character.

On quitting franchise, Craig said he h no regrets. "No, none at all," Craig said on BBC Rio 4's Best of Today podcast. On his journey portraying character, he ded, "I h an incredibly fortunate 17 years of my life making this. I literally want to spend next 20 years of my life trying to unhook it all and try and put it into a place because it was incredible." "I left it where I wanted it to be. And that I was given chance to do that with last movie," Craig said as quoted in a report by Variety, a US based magazine.

‘No time to die’

According to Variety, Craig hinted at Bond's comeback when Kearney asked him wher character was killed, "He's not really de. I'm gone, but it says right at end [of "No Time to Die"] that Bond will return, so he must return at some point."

When asked about reinvention of character Craig said, "I don't know if it sounds disingenuous, I said to Barbara a long time ago, back in 2006, 'If I do all of se movies, and we get it right, can we kill him off,' and she said, 'Yes, you can.' And I was thinking about myself, about my postponed career and I was trying to think of how that would work and but I was also thinking what y did with 'Casino Royale' - y h chance to reset with that because y went back to beginning. I thought you'll have a chance to reset again. That kind seems to be like a good move."

On being asked about how he feels getting killed on an island during climax of 'No Time to Die', actor Daniel Craig revealed to a British newspaper, "Real tragedy is when you have absolutely no choice. We h to find a way to make his death no choice. It was happiest Bond h ever been because he'd found exactly what he was looking for. Like everyone on Earth, he was just looking for love."
