Confirmed: Taking over Daniel Craig's role


From Layer Cake. I am a little disappointed Dan is not returning for Viva La Madness.

Yes he has a completely different style and attitude then DC, I think it will influence the movie to much and also spoil the memory of (the masterpiece) Layer Cake. What about the other characters? Does Morty return as the same character?

That was real? I saw that movie, I thought it was bullsh*t

It's going to be absolute dog *beep* Statham can't act.

That's it. He can't act.

You want him to replace Craig as XXXX? Someone should be fired over that one. I don't care if Craig wouldn't do it, there's any number of better choices for the role other than Jason "1/4 dimensional" Statham.

I mean, he was fun in Snatch, but he was also terrible in it. Hammy doesn't even begin to describe it.

Loved Craig in Layercake but TBH he doesn't look right for the role anymore. Too much time has passed and he has aged too much. Not saying it should go to Statham but I can see him in the role.

Craig certainly is old considering XXXX's age in VLM. But Statham is actually older!

He's just a bad, bad choice. Whether it gets made or not, I'll stick to the book.

Please don't scare me like that. I thought you were referring to the bond role. If statham got that, I would seriously consider shooting the guy. Anything to save the franchise.


As for the original post, once you are popular.....they will throw any role at you. Regardless of how unsuited you are.

The franchise died a long time ago when that overrated monkey donned the tux. But to be fair Brosnan's Die Another Day was the beginning of the end.

Whether you like Craig or not, you're a fool to think he's the end of the Bond series.

His movies make money, so even when he retires the role they'll still make more with a new bond.

But you're right, Die Another Day was such a steaming turd... Sad part is, it made so much money...
