Daniel Craig is back! The British star, 46, will continue his run as the famed James Bond in a new movie next year.
The 46-year-old actor will reprise his role as Bond in “Spectre,” director Sam Mendes announced during a press conference Thursday morning at Pinewood Studios in the U.K.
After previously appearing in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall, Craig will star in the latest installment of the world’s most famous spy saga, set for release late next year
Mendes will return to helm, which also stars James Bond movie vets Rory Kinnear, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, and Ben Whishaw.
The title of the movie will be familiar to Bond fans as an acronym for Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.
The high-octane action flick will make its debut more than three years after Mendes introduced Skyfall and scheduled to begin shooting over seven months from Monday with a story that follows Bond going on a trail to uncover a sinister organization after receiving a cryptic message from his past.
“I felt an attachment to the characters that we created in Skyfall,” the director said in an interview with BBC Radio. “I felt like there was unfinished business, and that there was a lot more I could do with them once I’d kind of stepped aside and had some time off.”
Due out on Nov. 6, 2015, the 24th James Bond movie will introduce some new faces to the decades-long franchise.
Christoph Waltz has been tapped for a character named Oberhauser, Dave Bautista will play Mr. Hinx, Monica Bellucci will star as Lucia Sciarra and Léa Seydoux will play Madeleine Swann.
Sounds like a great cast indeed… I’m a massive Bond fan and an even bigger Daniel Craig fan! #excited!
