We have some off putting news today from the mouth of Daniel Craig. Apparently he isn’t sure if he’s going to be around for a third. We get the following scoop from our friends at monsters and critics:
The actor – who reprises his role as the British spy in upcoming movie ‘Quantum of Solace’ – says despite signing a contract for another two movies in the franchise, he doesn’t know whether he will return to the character.
He said: “I did sign on for four so a piece of paper says there are two more to do. But let’s see how this one goes. In the film business, everything doesn’t always go according to plan. We’ll wait and see. If it goes wrong, we’ll have to rethink things.”
I doubt Craig will be able to bail on Bond, save for death. He’s locked down for 2 more films and I can’t see the studio letting him off the leash. Craig may certainly walk away from the project, but I would suspect that this would be at the cost of a drawn out legal battle.
I am personally guessing that Craig is sowing seeds in discontent so that when his four films are done he will demand more money and have these remarks to site as history. I could be reading into the situation way too much however, he could’ve just said the above statement as a placeholder for “I dunno”.
Regardless of his future plans, Quantum Of Solace is a film that I am anticipating very much. I cannot wait to check it out.
