Daniel Craig ‘will return as James Bond’ for the fifth time – and Adele could sing the theme tune
The 49-year-old had been rumoured to be quitting as 007, but has had a change of heart
DANIEL Craig has done an epic U-turn and looks set to play James Bond for a FIFTH time.
The 49-year-old actor claimed he would "rather slash my wrists" than play the international man of mystery again.
A source told the publication: "It's taken time but Daniel has come round and the strong consensus in the Bond offices is that Mr Craig is 007 again."
Meanwhile Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is just as determined to get Skyfall singer Adele - who is said to be returning to live in the UK after growing homesick in America - back to record a second Bond theme tune.
The song from the 2012 movie was the first Bond theme tune to win at the Brits and Grammy Awards, as well as the Golden Globes.
"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.
"I haven’t given it any thought. For at least a year or two, I just don’t want to think about it.
"I don’t know what the next step is. I’ve no idea. Not because I’m trying to be cagey. Who the f**k knows?
"At the moment, we’ve done it. I’m not in discussion with anybody about anything.
"If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money."
