Who Does Daniel Craig Want As a New James Bond? He Doesn’t Care

As a long-time fan who has witnessed Daniel Craig‘s incredible transformation into James Bond, I can’t help but feel a sense of admiration tinged with a touch of envy. To play one character for almost two decades is a feat few actors achieve, and it’s no wonder Craig seems eager to move on. It’s like being stuck in a high-stakes poker game for 17 years straight – I’d be ready for a vacation too!


It’s officially been verified that what many of us had been feigning ignorance about is true – Daniel Craig isn’t mulling over who will succeed him as James Bond. In fact, he seems quite indifferent about it, a sentiment I can relate to if I’d played the same character for close to 20 years. In an interview with Drew Starkey that’s trending from Variety, Daniel Craig discusses James Bond and other topics at length.

In the upcoming movie “Queer,” directed by Luca Guadagnino, Craig and Starkey are two prominent stars. To generate excitement for this new release, Varity Magazine organized a fun quiz titled “How Well Do They Know Each Other?” to test the actors’ familiarity with one another.

During an interview, when asked who Craig preferred as the next James Bond, he casually replied, “I don’t mind.” This wasn’t the only time Bond came up in conversation, suggesting Craig’s eagerness to move on from the role. The interviewer queried the number of James Bond movies Craig had starred in. Craig joked that he would likely give the wrong answer, and when Starkey wrote “too many,” Craig agreed with a chuckle, saying “spot on.

Craig made his debut as the new English spy in Casino Royale back in 2006, which is quite astonishing considering it was prior to the launch of the first iPhone. Can you imagine portraying a character for such an extended period that many young individuals believe he was the initial Bond? Admit it, I’m one of them too.

2022 saw Daniel Craig conclude his 17-year tenure as Bond in “No Time to Die”. In an interview with BBC, he shared no remorse about relinquishing the role, stating, “I had an extraordinary 17 years of my life creating this. I’d like the next 20 years to be about untangling that experience and finding a way to preserve it, as it was incredible. I’ve left it in a place where I wanted it to be. And I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do so with the last film.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t hide my excitement about Daniel Craig stepping into fresh roles following his captivating portrayal of southern detective Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out series. This time around, he’ll be bringing to life a queer American man who embarks on an adventure beyond our borders – not because it’s a dream holiday destination! Absolutely, I’m all in for this one. Craig will grace our screens as William Lee in the upcoming film Queer, set to hit theatres on November 27th.
