After much speculation, it’s now confirmed that Daniel Craig WILL be reprising his role as James Bond. The actor announced it on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

If I’m going to speak the truth I should speak the truth to you,” Daniel said, before confirming that “yes” he will be returning to the mega franchise. “I couldn’t be happier,” adding: “I have to apologize to all the people I’ve done interviews with today because I wanted to tell you.”

In 2015, he told Time Out magazine he would “rather break this glass and slash my wrists” before returning to the role. “Instead of saying something with style and grace, I said something really stupid,” he explained to Stephen of his comments.

I guess in Hollywood, you should never say never!
