UPDATE : Reports from theBBCin the wake of The Daily Mail ’s reporting take their own sources say that Craig has yet to make a terminal conclusion regarding a return to the function . We ’ll allow you know when anything official , be it a return or an exit , is confirmed .

The word , which has beenbreathlessly circulatedthroughout the UK this morning , comes via British tabloidThe Daily Mail — so for now , it ’s best to take this with a necessary pinch of salt . The Mail , speak to undisclosed sources , claim that Craig has turned down a £ 68 million deal that would ’ve seen him asterisk in two more Bond pictures .

While the word may come from an unofficial source , it would not be totally surprising if — and with the Mail , that ’s a big if — it ’s rightful . Like I said , Craig has expend a good recollective meter say he ’s pretty much done with the part , no matter the money thrown at him to give back . He spent almost the entirety of SPECTRE ’s packaging campaigntelling everyone how small he gave a shitabout doing more Bond movies , or the person who would replace him as Britain ’s most celebrated fictional spy :

Look , I do n’t give a fuck . practiced luck to them ! All I wish about is that if I stop doing these things we ’ve leave it in a good place and people break up it up and make it good . Make it better , that ’s all .

Charming .

As for who could replace Craig in Bond ’s immaculately tailored tuxedos ? As ever with British - based molding rumors , our best bet is to calculate to the bookies : several betting officesput the in high spirits odds on Thor actor ( and internet boyfriend ) Tom Hiddleston , even to the point that some have turn back carry wager on the actor , usually a sign of skinny - inevitability . Other mellow - betting odds candidates include Aidan Turner ( The Hobbit ’s Kili ) , Tom Hardy ( Mad Max ) , and everyone ’s favourite casting selection for ostensibly everything , Idris Elba .
