Daniel Craig has revealed that his own rumination on Casino Royale partly inspired him to take the role of 007 for a final time.<\/p>\n
The James Bond actor, who bows out as Britain’s famous fictional spy in No Time To Die this autumn, said in a new interview that his idea for the new film to be a direct conclusion to the events seen in his first Bond film, Casino Royale (2006), helped him decide to reprise his role.<\/p>\n
He told GamesRadar: “We started talking about it and I went, ‘There might be a story we need to finish here – something we started in Casino [Royale]. Something to do with Vesper [Eva Green’s character], and Spectre, and something that was connected, in a way.’ It started to formulate. And I thought, ‘Here we go.’”<\/p>\n
Craig added that other factors played a part in influencing his decision, such as his family. “I thought I probably was physically not capable of doing another. For me, it was very cut and dried that I wasn’t coming back,” he said.<\/p>\n
Following a two-year break, however, he was approached by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson and realised that he’d changed his opinion on the matter.<\/p>\n
“I went and did other things. I got some separation. My family forgave me for being away from home for that length of time,” he said.<\/p>\n
In other Bond news, former 007 star Pierce Brosnan has said that Tom Hardy and Idris Elba are good fits for the role after Craig.<\/p>\n
“Idris Elba comes to mind,” he told People last month. “Idris is such a powerful presence and such a great former voice tensity. He would be magnificent. There’s Tom Hardy out there as well. Tom can really chew the furniture up, just be a ball boy – both men can.” <\/p>\n
