Daniel Craig, best known for his role as “James Bond,” has revealed that he has no interest in who will take over as 007, as the film industry continues to speculate on who will take over the role he has played throughout the five-film James Bond franchise. Craig made his mark on the character in 2006’s Casino Royale and has been a consistent fixture in the role ever since. While fans continue to speculate about who will take over in Bond 26, Craig has played down the possibility.
While he was promoting his new film Queer, Variety asked Craig what he thought of the casting decision to replace him as Bond. Craig’s answer was straightforward and unexpected. “I don’t care,” he said with a chuckle. He also said that he can’t even remember how many James Bond films he’s starred in. Until it was revealed that he had 5 films in the series.

While Craig has shown no interest in the casting of a new actor, his lack of interest has fans increasingly interested in the future of the franchise. It’s interesting to see how Craig’s performance has been recognized and remembered by fans for a long time, even though he’s no longer attached to the role. Many see No Time to Die, Craig’s final film as James Bond, as the perfect way to conclude the 007 franchise.
At the same time, many are starting to wonder who else could challenge Craig’s James Bond. It’s been said that Craig has taken the character to a new level and given it new life during his time on the show. From being a character who might have been considered a cool, charming spy, he’s shown a complexity and depth to the Bond character that hasn’t been seen before.
While Craig isn’t concerned with the casting of a new actor, he’s happy with his acting journey right now. During the promotion of Queer, Craig expressed his intention to continue developing his craft. He said that he enjoys new and challenging roles and that he’s glad he got the chance to work with the great team on this project.
There was also an interesting quote from Drew Starkey, a co-star in the film Queer, who joked that Craig had done too many James Bond movies. This quote made many laugh and illustrated the good relationship between Craig and the new actor. Craig himself did not hold back his feelings about this and laughed with amusement.
