Craig on Bond future

While QUANTUM OF SOLACE was, in essence, part two of CASINO ROYALE, it doesn’t sound like the next 007 mission will continue that plot path.

When Collider asked if the next Bond flick would be the bookend of the Vesper Revenge “trilogy”, tuxedoed tough-guy Daniel Craig succinctly said: “No fucking way. I’m done with that story.”

He did clarify a bit further: “We’ve finished this story as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got a great set of bad guys. There is an organization that we can use whenever we want to. The relationship between Bond and M is secure and Felix is secure. Let’s try and find where Moneypenny came from and where Q comes from. Let’s do all that and have some fun with it.”

Hopefully that fun won’t come at the further cost of whatever realism was established in ROYALE — while entertaining enough, QUANTUM started to approach Brosnan-esque levels of ludicrous (that exploding desert resort made only slightly more sense than DIE ANOTHER DAY’s colossal ice hotel and laser plane).
