Daniel Craig's Advice for the Next Bond

James chats with "No Time To Die" stars Daniel Craig and Rami Malek, and Rami shares he didn't have to consider accepting a role as the film's villain - it was an instant yes. And Daniel talks about his approach at trying to evolve his portrayal of James Bond over five films before James asks him about what advice he has for the next person to be cast as 007. After, Daniel remembers his early days on the stage when students would throw candy at him (that he ate).

The way that Daniel Craig sits looks like he is about the kick some ass .what a legend.

[gossipsdaily]

We like Mr. Craig’s down-to-earth attitude. He realizes he won the film lottery and is humble about it. Not to mention, he’s an accomplished actor outside of the Bond films. Best of luck to him!

Daniel Craig is Bond, he personified and humanized the character

[jameshutchins]

He was the only bond that actually looked like he could take on 6 guys. In my eyes the best bond.

[hotdamndan]

Craig really raised the bar for the 007 franchise. The last time this pressure for the next Bond existed was when Connery retired his 007.

I will miss you so much watching you in your movies as “James Bond”. 🙂

Thank you Daniel Craig😍🤗💖🖤

I definitely remember a lot of talk when it was announced that Daniel Craig would be the next Bond, most negative, but I think he developed the most authentic Bond yet. Whoever comes next will have to kill it.

[mayukhsen]

Craig's Bond is like Nolans Batman. Once it exists, there can't ever be anything better in the entire future of upcoming cinematic history.

[jakebond]

In this interview you realize that Craig is just a normal guy like us. He fidgets and stammers. But man he absolutely kills as an actor. Great James Bond

[lalaland]

Craig had a good run. It’s something to celebrate.

[davidecolin]

"Outrage is now a currency of the internet." My new favorite line.

[DJ-hfqq]

The only Bond who brought gritty realism and a level of emotional depth to the role. By far the best Bond of all.

[samsbookbook]

Daniel Craig was the perfect fit for giving Bond a facelift. And that was the plan for the new movies. The black/white scene in Casino Royale told the viewers which direction we are going. They have written history with his films, unique, changes, and it was a connected story this was new in bonds franchise. An Daniel handled, Bond in a modern classy way, and it was never to much. With a perfect and inevitable ending. I will miss this guy.

[robbyanderson]

I can definitely say, I grew up watching James Bond 007 Starring Pierce Brosnan and I honestly love how amazing Daniel Craig lived up to Pierce Brosnan and even exceeded the bar In his own way. I will miss Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond.

He's absolutely right. There were a lot of angry people when Daniel Craig was announced to be Bond. Regardless of who gets it next, they will face backlash because Bond fans are not a monolith. Some want a continuation of a darker, more serious Bond. Some want a more tongue-in-cheek less serious Bond. You'll never make everyone happy.

[ezekielogilvie]

No matter who becomes the next James Bond, there will NEVER EVER be another like Daniel Craig.

[MegaKingb]

Daniel Craig has raised the “James Bond” character so high that the next Bond would have to work twice as hard as him.

[Xfighter]

For the ones wondering what James Bond films are during Daniel Craig's era, these are:
Casino Royale (2006)
Quantum Of Solace (2008)
Skyfall (2012)
Spectre (2015)
No Time To Die (2021)

Watch them in this order.

He set the bar pretty high by being an authentic version of 007 for this Era..The next actor to take on the role will have alot of work to do to capture the audience attention..just like he did with Casino Royal after Brosnan's exit
