Daniel Craig is through with James Bond - turns down £68 million offer from MGM


Daniel Craig is apparently through with portraying the role of James Bond 007 - he has told studio bosses he is ‘done’ playing 007. He has been playing James Bond ever since 2005 and is the highest-paid actor to play the role - he has netted a total of £38million for the four films he has appeared in.
Daniel Craig has helped to collect well over £2billion in box office revenue which has helped ease MGM’s bankruptcy issues.
There are rumours that Tom Hiddleston could become the next James Bond.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 19 May 2016.
AS per information, Craig has turned down an offer of £68-million from MGM studio to return as Bond for two more films following last year’s hit Spectre. The sum would cover endorsements, profit shares, and a role for him working as a co-producer.
Before playing James Bond, the 48-year-old actor, married to actress Rachel Weisz, was best known for thriller Layer Cake. He was also Angelina Jolie’s love interest in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and various TV roles. It seems he has been plagued with a knee injury that he had sustained while filming a fight scene in Spectre.
