When will Daniel Craig stop playing James Bond?

Daniel Craig had said he would not be doing another Bond film and would "rather slash his wrists".

But in a major U-turn, the actor will be stepping back into that Aston Martin and will be enjoying another shaken, but not stirred martini.

The star has confirmed he will be back for ONE more film.

Bond 25 is set to be released in 2019, but the release date has been pushed back so that Daniel can help his pregnant wife, Rachel Weisz.

The bets are now on to see who will be his replacement after his last film.
