Total responses: 163,143 votes--------- Sarah Lawrence: I never bought Daniel Craig as Bond. He's too short and, in my opinion, not a good actor. The only real James Bond was Sean Connery. I would vote to bring back Sean Connery for one final James Bond performance. I think Barbara Broccoli is about done making James Bond movies anyway, so Sean Connery would make the perfect choice for the last film.------------------- Carolann Quinn
I would not want to see Daniel Craig as Bond again. If I want an action movie, there is the Furious franchise, any Marvel movie, etc. Gone is the suave, debonair, INTELLIGENT man who thinks with his mind and not his trigger finger and smashing his enemies in bathrooms. The pendulum swung too far with Craig and took out all the spycraft.----------------- Charles Meyers · Boynton Beach, Florida
he was the worst bond and the one about a card game the worst bond movie ever----------------------

The ugliest bond of them all. Short and flat nosed.
Funny how these people feel free to sound off against Craig now, 2006-7 you didn't dare. But I doubt these people were recent converts to the Craig sucks belief maybe the press and eon pr team did such a good job over saturating us with the narrative they wanted enough people thought why bother telling them what I think, as happened to the election polling last year around the world.
From 2015: Barbara Broccoli Admits She’s In Denial Over The Next James Bond Actor: ‘It’s Daniel Craig Forever, As Far As I’m Concerned’ --------------Despite the seeming uncertainty, James Bond 25 looks like it is on track as it has been revealed that the production is looking to film in Croatia, possibly before the end of the year.
Favorite Bond Movie: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible, Kingsman: The Secret Service and The November Man or any upcoming actioners starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good since it will help him expand his reputation as an actor especially in the action realm)

Favorite Bond Movie: From Russia With Love,GoldenEye,The Spy Who Loved Me,Goldfinger,Dr.No

Baz Bamigboye (showbiz journalist who has a decent track record of accurately predicting what is going to happen with Bond) said on his Twitter that this story is not true and Craig genuinely hasn't decided yet. I can't remember where the thread was but there was something about EON looking at eight possible replacements for Craig if he doesn't return. The Hiddleston part seems preposterous to me. How would they know what BB thinks of Hiddleston unless they've bugged her house. She's hardly likely to openly call him 'smug' in an interview. Having said that, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Craig came back even if it didn't make any sense. Would they continue the stupid Spectre story line? If not, what's the point of a one off film with an ancient Daniel Craig? This franchise is crying out for a soft reboot with a younger actor.
Making one more movie with Craig makes no sense at all. With Craig they most likely would have to continue the bizzare Spectres story and who on earth wants that?Eon surely read the reviews and now they know they didn't make another Skyfall(which was far more critically acclaimed-although God knows why).
And as you said a one off with Craig makes no sense either.The man is sleepwalking when he plays Bond for crying out loud.
You are right about the Hiddleston part being preposterous.BB might not be the sharpest knife in the box but I am sure she wouldn't exactly openly call someone "smug" in a an interview.
As for filming in Croatia-I'd be happy if Turner as Bond came over here.
Spectre and quantum are failures as bond movies yet still get a ton of praise fro professional critics despite being garbage. Skyfall was the most over hyped film of Craig's era, but I've found more and more hate for it in the years since. I don't think they can point to skyfall as the high water mark as they did with CR every time anyone questioned them about their direction with bond. I doubt today CR is as revered as it was in 2006-7.
It's not a good bond movie and Craig is just bad init. I don't get how people imagined more to his performance than was on the screen or how they ignored all the crap that was not ok for Bond to do or be.

It's been confirmed by top sources inside EON that FBF will cast, write, edit, and direct the next Bond film to be released sometime in the future years.

James Bond is finished permanently. It's just a franchise with his name attached to it. Turner doesn't need Bond especially if Babs is still producer. Who is the next James Bond? The answer: the Shambler.

good break down of actual facts.
Trying to follow the updates what was the bond rumor the guy was trying to quash ?

I think he was trying quash the idea that Hiddleston was ever seriously being considered in the first place, that the role of Bond was never really his to lose.

kinda what I thought, except maybe he trying to quash the rumor he was rejected .
Maybe Idris Elba and Hiddleston can sue the papers for printing wild speculation that damages their image.
“I just don’t want to think about it,” Eon Productions boss Barbara Broccoli says, repeating comments she made in 2015. “I’m in denial. I don’t want to think about that day. Daniel Craig is Bond, forever, as far as I’m concerned.”
