Maybe he had one too many martinis but Daniel Craig was in full-on truth mode when he seemed to indicate in an interview with the UK’s Time Out that his time as Britain’s favorite spy was over.
When asked if the actor, who plays the iconic James Bond for a fourth time in the upcoming "Spectre," would do another 007 film, the answer was salty, to say the least. “I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists,” said Craig. “No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I'm over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on.”
When pressed if that meant he was done with Bond for good, Craig replied, “I haven't given it any thought. For at least a year or two, I just don't want to think about it. I don't know what the next step is. I've no idea. Not because I'm trying to be cagey. Who the f**k knows? At the moment, we've done it. I'm not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money.”
At the time of writing, Deadline was still awaiting comment from Sony Pictures, which launches "Spectre" in the UK on October 26 before its domestic bow the following week, and rights holder and producer Barbara Broccoli’s EON Productions. Craig is still, officially at least, contracted to do one more Bond film. Speculation has been rife for some time now that Craig, who turned 47 early this year, was looking to put away his Walther PPK and smoking jacket.
The actor took a beating during the production of "Spectre," undergoing knee surgery in April to repair an injury caused during filming.News of Craig's injury first surfaced in February

The next James Bond may very well be Craig again. This could be a contract negotiating ploy, not unlike how Robert Downey Jr said he was done with Iron Man until Disney/Marvel backed another Brinks truck up to his mansion.
I heard the next Bond was Caitlyn Jenner.
If bond goes PC race quota then it is officially completely dead.
They already screwed up Moneypenney.
The next James Bond will probably be a moozlum.
I’d actually be okay with that.
“IDRIS ELBA AS JAMES BOND”
HELL NO!!!!
Well at least it’s still a man, how long until they propose a female Bond?
...and Mobama will be cast as Miss Moneypenny. :)
To be followed soon by a gay and then a transgendered Bond. Or perhaps a Bond who has forsworn using guns.
Back in the day, Sophie Marceau could make me write bad checks.
Craig was good, but it’s time for a different Bond.
It’s gotta be Solitaire...
