Could they be discussing who will be the next Bond?

Speculation started over the future of James Bond towards the end of last year, when Daniel seemed to confirm he would not be returning following the release of Spectre

Asked by Time Out if he would be reprising the role of James in the next film, Daniel replied: "Now? I'd rather slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I'm over it at the moment, we're done. All I want to do is move on."

However, during the same interview, Daniel seemed to have a change of heart, adding that it would his view "for at least a year or two" and continued: "I don't know what the next step is. I've no idea. Not because I'm being cagey. At the moment, we've done it. I'm not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would be only for the money."Who would you like to see as the next James Bond? Let us know in the comments box below.
