Daniel Craig will return in the next 007 film

After repeatedly threatening to 'walk away' from the series, Daniel Craig has finally changed his mind. In addition, singer Adele is expected to sing the theme song for the sequel.

A source close to the Daily Mail said: "Although it took a long time, Daniel Craig accepted and everyone agreed that he would continue to play 007."

Previously, the 49-year-old actor repeatedly declared that he would “rather slit his wrists than play Bond again”, and even asserted that “I only do it for the money”. Then, he turned to his fans and said: “Playing Bond is the best job in the world”, leaving the public confused.

The producer is also trying to "entice" singer Adele to record the soundtrack for the upcoming film, following the success of the song Skyfall in 2012. It is known that, up to now, Skyfall is the only song of the 007 series that has won an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe.

The unexpected success of Skyfall has made it impossible for the producers to ignore this important factor. A source of the Daily Mail also revealed: “Craig and Adele are a winning duo, the perfect choice, the money-making machines.”

Although the “British nightingale” has not confirmed her participation in the project, sources said that the singer loves the spy series and affirmed that “the signs are very positive”. Meanwhile, actress Rachel Weisz, wife of Daniel Craig, has always wholeheartedly supported her husband in participating in the role of Bond.

It is known that this will be the 5th time Daniel Craig transforms into 007, and the 25th movie revolving around the British spy.
