I certainly think he will end up doing 23 (despite the delay) and that he will not do 24. We've had Bond actors do 6, 1, 7, 2 and 4 now we need a 3 and a 5 to complete the counting. I doubt DC will be the 5...so lets make him the 3.

I dearly hope he makes a third and fourth film.
Watched CR and QoS yesterday again and love them both.

IMO, I can see Dan doing a fourth Bond film after No. 23, provided they don't take six years like last time to release it. Whether or not he'll do a fifth film or so is a bonus.

As Barbara Broccoli has stated many times, the part is DC's as long as he wants it. He has said as long as he likes the scripts he'll keep doing it. When joking about leaving in an interview she freaked out and clutched him as if he were her child!

If after a couple of more films he speaks of walking away, I'm certain they will throw a ton of cash at him. They paid him a bonus AFTER CR came out because it did so well. There were many reasons why CR was a success but you have to accept the fact that the main reason is Craig himself. He's not going anywhere as long as they are producing films on par with the last two.

He is the most physically fit Bond to date, and as others have said he is aging very well. Take a look at some photos from earlier in his career - he has the coveted "male secret weapon" of getting better looking as he ages!

I can't remember where I saw this news and you may have discussed it before (as I'm a newbie to this forum) but Bond 23 will be the final chapter in the trilogy of CR, QOS and Bond 23 and the storyline they are following. A perfect time for DC to just walk away.

Personally I think he'll wait to see how much they offer him '$$$' after Bond 23.

Cheer up. In an alternative Universe If Ms Brocoli had got her way we would probably have had to suffer Sean Bean and may still have him in place today.

I think this is a good point. One of the reasons that Dalton bailed is the length of time he had been associated with Bond he felt was disproportianate. I think a lot depends upon how good, and how well received 23 is will influnce DC's inclination to pick up the option for his fourth or not. I seriously doubt that he will want to go beyond 4. I'm fairly convinced that either way it will be his decision.

I'm pretty sure he's contracted to do ONE more Bond film, with an 'option' to do a fourth.

Oops! Sorry Lex...I hadn't seen this post when I made mine...my apologies

As for Brozzer, after DAD he was approached by Quentin Tarantino who wanted to do an adaptation of Casino Royale, which would follow on from OHMSS in chronology. How far the idea went no-one knows as Brosnan was left high and dry by the producers who then went with the idea of CR for their new actor, who turned out to be Craig.

Loeffelholz, keeping in mind Brozers fourth film, do you think Craig should do a fourth? but, then again I doubt will see Craig driving a "vanish". so, at this point it seems to be up in the air. i do hope that he'd come back.
My take on Craig is that he'll simply opt out of a fourth film if he doesn't like the script, or the direction of the character, etc. I might be wrong...but I think he's exercising a bit more control over Bond than past actors have---thanks in part to Ms. Broccoli's friendship, possibly. So I don't expect history to repeat itself to the same extent as with DAD...one can only hope that Craigger's willing to ease the character in a (slightly) more traditional direction, whilst keeping the Fleming infuence we've seen of late.

I think I remember hearing a long time ago that Bronsan rejected Casino Royale because he didn't like the script, but I'm not 100% sure.
