Daniel Craig wants to stay a spy

“Until They Tell
Me To Stop”

Daniel Craig has been opening up to BBC about his future plans, while also featuring in some high-flying rumours about the upcoming Olympics.

Daniel Craig seems set on his current path: playing the British espionage figure, James Bond.

Daniel recently told the BBC he has no intentions of backing away from his role as Bond, and will stay "until they tell me to stop."

"I know there'll be someone after me, and hopefully someone after them - I'm just trying to keep [the series] going," he said.

He had a few things to say about the upcoming Bond film, Skyfall, which is his third.

"We haven't been resting on our laurels, we've been plotting what to do with this film," he said.

"The first one Casino Royale was a whirr -- it was a new experience and flew by -- the second one was the tricky second album Quantum of Solace, but this one we've really planned and got a great script.

"It's going to be different from the last one, but it will still be a great Bond movie."

Javier Bardem (as a villian), Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris and Bérénice Marlohe will all appear in the film.

Daniel has also found himself the subject of some high-flying reports. The Sun newspaper claims Queen Elizabeth II asked Daniel to appear in a short film as part of the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony. The report said scenes will likely be filmed within the grounds of Buckingham Palace as well as one scene where Daniel parachutes from a helicopter into an east London stadium. It is to be directed by Trainspotting director, Danny Boyle.

Whether these reports amount to anything remains to be seen.
