Daniel Craig as James Bond
Sony
It’s been assumed for a while now that Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bondhas come to an end, but Radar reports that Sony isn’t ready to let go of their 007 just yet — and is willing to reward him handsomely should he return. The studio is reportedly ready to offer Craig $150 million to keep going with the franchise for two more films.
“The studio is desperate to secure the actor’s services while they phase in a younger long-term successor,” says Radar‘s source. Craig’s casting was initially met with resistance by fans, owed almost entirely to the fact that the actor sports lighter hair than his predecessors, but his take on the enduring character has become one of the most acclaimed during his four-film tenure. “Daniel’s the key for a seamless, safe transition as far as Sony and Bond bosses are concerned, and they’re prepared to pay a king’s ransom to make it happen,” continues the source.
Since the release of “Spectre” late last year, speculation has run rampant as to who might replace Craig should he truly be done with the series; Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba’s names have been mentioned with especially high frequency. Craig starred in “Casino Royale,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall” and “Spectre.”
