Daniel Craig Confirmed As First Choice To Be 007 In The Next James Bond

The whole James Bond debacle has taken many twists and turns over the course of this year. First, Daniel Craig claimed he'd rather slit his wrists than do another Bond movie, then Tom Hiddleston, who was a favourite to become the secret agent, ruined his chances by flaunting the worst ever relationship with serial succubus Taylor Swift.

A new Bond is yet to be appointed, after the likes of Idris Elba's skills were sought after. However, it seems the Daniel Craig is the most wanted man to once again play with Q's gadgets, as executive producer Callum McDougall told Radio 4.

"We would love Daniel to return as Bond, without any question," McDougall said.

He added that producer Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli's first choice Bond would be Craig, who has so far starred in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.

Basically, if Craig wants the role, he's got it.

Things aren't quite that simple, however, as the 48-year-old has literally said he'd prefer self-harm, maiming and life threatening injuries than once again putting on 007's tuxedo.
