Daniel Craig will play one of his most famous roles for the fifth time, as confirmed by The New York Times. The script will be written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who formed a team to write the scripts for the last six secret agent films.

The actor had pointed out in October 2016 that he would say goodbye to his role, after the premiere of Specter and stated that he wanted to leave it after debuting in 2006 with Casino Royale: “I'd rather break this glass and cut my wrists” told British Magazine. Then, Craig admitted that he was too tired when he made that statement and that he would return to play the British spy at least, once again.

The new film will be the number 25 of the franchise and would premiere in November 2019, as mentioned in a statement by EON Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the owners of the rights to the Agent's stories 007. Thus, the interpreter would definitively say goodbye to the character.
