Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as James Bond for the fifth (and final) time. Craig first portrayed the suave spy in 2006’s “Casino Royale.” His last onscreen outing was in 2015’s “Spectre.”

In 2017, Craig revealed on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” that his fifth outing as James Bond would be his last. He is the seventh actor to play James Bond on screen, following Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan.
The 25th James Bond film still doesn’t have a title but it does have a new cast — led by Oscar winner Rami Malek as the film’s villain — and a plot that teams 007 with Jeffrey Wright’s CIA agent Felix Leiter on a globe-trotting new mission.
His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA (Wright) turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
