James Bond producer confirms Daniel Craig exit
James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli says that No Time To Die will be Daniel Craig's "fifth and final" outing as 007.

James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has confirmed that No Time To Die will be Daniel Craig's final outing as 007.

The movie will mark Craig's fifth film playing the legendary spy and takes his time in the role to 14 years - more than any other Bond actor before him.

The 52-year-old has previously hinted that he is open to returning for a sixth Bond movie, but speaking to the No Time To Die podcast, Broccoli definitively shut off that possibility.

"There's a few lines that are in the script that Bond fans will love from the books and some wonderful locations that are described in the books," she said.

"We consider this film to be a classic Bond film but with a modern twist.

"It's also vitally important because it is the fifth and final one that Daniel Craig is going to be doing, so it's a culmination of everything his portrayal of the character has been through and it ties up all the storylines.

"It's a pretty epic film, I have to say."

Having been delayed seven months due to the coronavirus pandemic, No Time To Die is now set for release on November 12.
