Daniel Craig photo opposing Brexit
Daniel Craig said on CBS’s Late Show said he’ll be back as James Bond in Bond 25.
“Yes,” he said answering a question from host Stephen Colbert whether he’d return as 007.
“I couldn’t be happier,” Craig said. “I have to apologize to all the people I’ve done interviews with today.” Earlier in the day, he said in radio interviews he hadn’t made a decision yet.
“It’s been a couple of months,” Craig said, responding to a question from Colbert how long he had known. “I always wanted to. I needed a break.”
Colbert reminded the actor about his 2015 comments, made shortly after the conclusion of the filming of SPECTRE, how he’d rather “slash my wrists” rather than do another Bond film.
“There’s no point in making excuses,” Craig said. “Instead of saying something with style and grace, I gave a stupid answer.”
At the end of the interview, Colbert asked Craig if this was his last Bond film.
“I think this is it,” Craig replied. “I just want to go out on a high note.”

Since he made the announcement official- does that mean They have a distributor lined up or they have the bait to get a distributor lined up ?
Since he made the announcement on Viacom owned CDS does that mean that paramount could be the release party ??
