Daniel Craig might want to get used to introducing himself as Bond, James Bond. The current inhabitant of the legendary cinematic spy is currently shooting 'Skyfall,' which will represent his third outing as the character. Franchise producer Michael G Wilson wants him to continue playing Bond for another five films beyond 'Skyfall,' bringing his total to eight. Wilson thinks very highly of Craig as Bond, as do many people, and would love to see him break Roger Moore's record of seven Bond movies. Wilson is the step-son of Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli who began the franchise back in 1962. No word yet on how close Wilson and Craig are to an official deal.
I love Daniel Craig as Bond. He's tough-as-nails, looks good in a suit, and seems actively disinterested in being a smarmy playboy; all of these being characteristics of the James Bond from Ian Fleming's novels. It also makes sense that Wilson, as Cubby's step-son, would be super enthusiastic to keep Craig on board considering he has noted that Craig and director Sam Mendes are returning the franchise to feel of the 60s films. However, I cannot get behind the decision to offer Craig five more films. Wilson accidentally pegged exactly why this is a bad idea when he mentioned Roger Moore. To have Craig play Bond so many times just to beat Moore's record is to ignore the fact that Moore reached a point wherein he was far too old to play the character and his last two films became giant jokes; almost parodies of themselves. It would make far more sense to allow Craig the ability to retire before he became too old to be taken seriously. Also, though unofficially, Sean Connery made seven Bond films himself; 1983's 'Never Say Never Again' was a 'Thunderball' remake not recognized by the studio.
'Skyfall' hits theaters November 9, 2012
What do you guys think? Would you like to see Craig continue as Bond? For how many more films?

Comment by Batman on December 22, 2011 at 7:06pm At least one more after Skyfall, he signed on for four films, btw.
Four sounds about right.
Hey Daniel Graig is a solid actor, but how many times you play Bond doesn't matter anymore. I feel like James Bond needs a fresh coat of paint and someone else playing him after the next Bond is done. It's not about him getting old or not I think his shtick as bond will finish after Skyfall.
Comment by Majin B-mag on December 20, 2011 at 9:39pm Daniel Craig is GREAT as James Bond, if this is official sure I'd liked to see him as Agent 007 five more times just as long none of the sequels are like Q.O.S. (2008) and will be as awesome as Casino Royale or better, plus needless to say he looks like Bond's physical description in the Ian Fleming books
Comment by Gift of the Magi on December 20, 2011 at 5:52pm He WANTS him to play in another 5 films...this does not mean it will happen.
Comment by Glinton Dhas on December 20, 2011 at 1:35pm I never was a Bond fan till Daniel Craig came along,and I would be a Bond fan as long as that goes.
Comment by Carl Fisher on December 20, 2011 at 9:46am To be honest i don't really like Craig as Bond, never even bothered to see Quantum of Solace
Comment by Daedalus Ciarán on December 20, 2011 at 4:30am That's a pretty poor comparison to make: Roger Moore did seven films and was too old by the end of those, not because he'd done so much, but because he was 56 when he started making the films. Craig is, what, 42? 43? Already he has two and a bit films under his belt, and Pierce Brosnan was only starting at that age (he got four films in without comment of age). So this supposed age barrier won't be reached for at least another four to five films anyway! I say keep him. He won't be too old, baring major set backs, and he is very good as Bond.
Comment by Piotr Jeglinski on December 20, 2011 at 3:17am he's doing an amazing job so far keeping the series as i would say "compettative" and "dynamic". He introduced a fresh feel to the bond series but still keeping true to all the rules of being a bond. He gets the chick, he's a sly dog, and he does it all wearing a suit.
I like him so far but if it doesnt work out give Michael Fassbender a shot i think Clive Owen would have been good 10 years ago but you never know.
Comment by HyperStorm on December 19, 2011 at 9:51pm Go for 2 then bring in Clive Owen as a mid 40 vet no more nice guy
