All we know for sure is that Daniel Craig will be back for at least one more outing as James Bond, whether he likes it or not.

Naturally, rumours have swirled about who could next take up the mantle of James Bond – but Craig himself is still refusing to shut the door completely on a return.
Daniel Craig, who griped he’d rather “slash his wrists” than do another Bond film just weeks before the new movie “Spectre” is to be released, has been told to shut up by execs at Sony, according to Page Six. Not at all. That’s fine.
Meanwhile, although Craig is adamant he’s ready to quit the franchise after the upcoming movie, he recently claimed he’d signed a contract that may require him to make another.
They also cited another Hollywood source as saying: “Craig is pretentious and thinks he’s better than Bond, that it doesn’t give him the creative range he needs”. “I mean, literally we finished this a week ago, so I’m thinking about a holiday”.
When asked by Esquire magazine if he had plans to reprise his role in the next film, he stated, ” At this moment, no. I have a life and I’ve got to get on with it a bit.
It may be true that Bond had a very hard time on the set, but many believe that he was a little harsh in stating that he never wants to do a Bond movie again. “And if you can’t get excited about making a movie of this size, with this cast, with Sam Mendes and this crew, then go home”, he said. He also spoke about James Bond being for a few, the flawless man.
