Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Bond 25

Daniel Craig has finally confirmed that he will reprise his role as James Bond in Bond 25. It will be the fifth and last time he will play Bond.

Even until yesterday morning, Craig didn't want to confirm or deny his return, but Tuesday evening, 15th of August 2017, he told The Late Show-presentor Stephen Colbert that he knew already for a few months that he will play Bond one more time.

"We've been discussing it, we've just been trying to figure things out," Craig said. "I always wanted to, I needed a break."
