How could he refuse that amount?
Even though the likes of Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston and Aidan Turner have all been named as possible new James Bonds it looks like we might not have seen the last of Daniel Craig after all.
It turns out that the bosses over at Sony are so keen to get Daniel back for the role that they have offered him an obscene amount of money for his return. According to Radar, they have made him an offer of $150 million to play Bond two more times.
A source told them,”The studio is desperate to secure the actor’s services while they phase in a younger long-term successor.”
They added, “Everyone knows how much executives adore him, and the idea of losing him at such a crucial time in the franchise isn’t an option as far as all the studio honchos are concerned.
“Daniel’s the key for a seamless, safe transition as far as Sony and Bond bosses are concerned, and they’re prepared to pay a king’s ransom to make it happen.”
The source further elaborated that if Daniel were to agree on these terms then they would announce the new movies very soon and would go into production shortly after, shooting two movies back to back. A third movie would then be made introducing a new James Bond and continuing from there.
Daniel, who has played Bond since 2005, had said earlier this year that he never wanted to play Bond again, having turned down a substantial amount to reprise the role. Now that it’s been nearly doubled though he might change his tune.
