Daniel Craig doesn’t regret leaving James Bond behind
Daniel Craig has no regrets. “Not a single one. I have had the incredible fortune of having spent 17 years of my life interpreting it. And I am going to spend the next 20 years trying to unlink my life from this because it has been incredible,” he explained in an interview with BBC Radio. “I mean, I left him when I wanted to. And I also got the chance to do it with one last movie. As a character he’s not really dead. I’m gone but as they say at the end of No Time to Die, “Bond He’s going to come back,” so at some point he will,” he continues, dropping that MGM and Amazon are already preparing the new secret agent saga.
The actor, who has starred in one of the best stages of the character according to viewers and fans, confesses that his idea was always to offer a specific ending for a spy, and that this was the death of the character. He discussed it with the producer of the saga, Barbara Broccoli, and it became a real requirement to continue in the James Bond suit. “I told him: if I make all these movies, and they turn out well, can we kill him?” And she answered me: yes, you can do it, “he confessed. Craig has defended that, one way or another, the best decision was made, since the ending was consistent with the character and his journey in previous installments.
