Will Daniel Craig Play James Bond Again After ‘Spectre’?

Daniel Craig made headlines last month saying he'd rather slash his wrists than play James Bond again – but what's he saying days ahead of "Spectre" opening?

"I've had many chats with [the producers], obviously. I'm not trying to be coy. I'm just, I don't want to think about it for the time being. I don't think really any of us do," he said of the "Spectre" team when he chatted with Access during the film's junket.

The actor explained that the film's extensive two-year production has taken its toll on him.

"You just wanna get on with other things and I just don't want to be kind of drawn into a debate about it at the moment," he continued.

Daniel, who previously played the spy in "Casino Royale" (2006), "Quantum Solace" (2008)  and "Skyfall" (2012), stopped short of saying if he'd return for what would be the 25th installment in the franchise.  

Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Daniel Craig and Monica Bellucci attend a photocall with cast and filmmakers to mark the start of production which is due to commence on the 24th Bond Film and announce the title of the film as ‘Spectre’ at Pinewood Studios on…

"I love doing them. I mean, if that is any indication," he explained. "I think they're some of the most exciting movies to make."

As for future Bond movies going in an unexpected direction, the actor is open to the idea of interpretation.

"I think that there is a possibility to do anything in these movies. I mean you have to just stick to the rule that it's a James Bond movie, but everything else is up for grabs," he told Access.

"Spectre" opens on November 6.
