His strong statements about looking forward to be stepping away from the character have somehow given fans a clear idea that he is intent on definitely giving up the role.

“In the top it boils down to creating movies for the viewers that they take pleasure in watching and expertise thrill which is what we attempt to do with Bond”. It isn’t official. It isn’t sanctioned.
The trouble is James doesn’t trust anyone. Bond’s exchange with Quantum of Solace villain Mr White seethes with tension, and the first shadowy meeting with Spectre is a particular highlight. But he’s got a secret, and the only way to follow it up is to go rogue with the help of Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q. Though the truth of who is behind it all will cut James to his core. But the James Bond movies are still stuck back in the ’50s regarding sex, and at least they don’t linger over oozing flesh wounds and body parts flying about in the fashion of modern horror. The movie itself seems a little lighter and I don’t feel that is for the better.
The film which stars Daniel Craig and Christoph Waltz is about Bond’s efforts to uncover the global criminal organization Spectre.
Others in the cast include Ralph Fiennes and Andrew Scott as M and C, directors in MI-6, British intelligence, who may – or may not – have Bond’s best interests in mind. Dave Bautista shows up as a Spectre goon named Hinx, and he’s the one who dukes it out with Bond on the train. The womanizing, martini-drinking Bond we all know and love is still there, make no doubt about it, but he begins to question the path that was chosen for him. Lea Seydoux captures both sides beautifully, and does it in a way that challenges Bond like never before. The series peaked with 2012’s Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes and featuring Javier Bardem as a classic Bond villain.

If Craig stopped playing Bond right now, he’d tie Pierce Brosnan with four films as the character, trailing Sean Connery (six) and Roger Moore (seven). She’s older than most Bond fancies, but since when has that ever been a problem? However, since Bond did not ultimately kill Oberhauser, he may still come after Bond one last time in Bond 25. Craig has stepped into this beloved, well-known role and not just made it his own, but made it unforgettable. I point this out because the film that preceded this one was Skyfall, which was absolutely fantastic and did not need to rely on these tropes.
