Daniel Craig says his time as JamesBond ended where it all began for him, with 'Casino Royale.'
The final outing for Daniel Craig as James Bond in last year's No Time to Die was memorable for many reasons, most notably for the fact that the film did something no villain had managed to do in over sixty years of the franchise — kill him. The conclusion of the film saw Bond, mortally wounded on an island blown to smithereens by a naval bombardment.
Speaking with Josh Horowitz on Happy Sad Confused to promote his latest film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the actor has now gone into more detail about what led to the decision to kill off his Bond and revealed that it stemmed from the very beginning of his time as 007 — back when he was first cast in Casino Royale in 2006 — when an impromptu conversation with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli gave him a definitive ending for the character when the time was right.
“I’m a control freak. I’ve always tried to push my career, I’ve never had a grand plan because you do jobs that come to you. The story was that I came away from the Berlin premiere with Barbara Broccoli and, I never was able to keep track of these, I asked her how many I was contracted to do and she said 4. So I asked her "If I do 4, can we kill him off at the end? And she went “Yeah”. And then 17 years later, I reminded her of that.
