According to a report from The Daily Mail, actor Daniel Craig has officially let MGM know that he's done playing James Bond, turning down an offer of £68 million ($99 million US) to return to the franchise for two more installments. Aside from the $99 million, the deal also included endorsements and profit sharing as a producer. Some estimates speculate that in reality, Craig is walking away from a figure closer to $175 million US.
After four films as Bond, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre, where does Craig rank on your list of 007 actors?
In related news, this reports suspiciously coincides with bookmakers around the world no longer accepting bets on whether Tom Hiddleston will succeed Craig as 007. There were even sightings of Hiddleston meeting with Spectre director Sam Mendes and executive prodcer Barbara Broccoli. Could an announcement be imminent?
