Will Daniel Craig play James Bond for another 007 movie? 

A few months ago, in an interview with Esquire, Daniel Craig called the character of James Bond “sexist” adding that he tries his best to portray the role in the least sexist way possible. Craig told BBC that he felt relieved leaving the franchise behind him. When asked what he would miss the most, he said that money will be the only thing he'll miss as the franchise left him a very rich man.

The James Bond movie No Time To Die will mark the end of the 52-year old actor's stint as James Bond, the role he played for 4 movies in a span of 15 years. No Time To Die is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who is known for his 2015 Netflix film Beasts of No Nation. The No Time To Die plot follows James Bond who is recruited to rescue a kidnapped scientist but finds himself on the trail of a mysterious villain. However a report on express.uk suggest that it is likely that Craig might continue the role as there is no certainty about him leaving the franchise until a new person is announced as the iconic spy.
