Daniel Craig

"When I watched Peter Ustinov play Hercule Poirot, he sort of appeared from somewhere, solved the case, and went somewhere else. That mystery is important. He's ...

We didn’t know this would be an ongoing character, there was a day where we had a fantasy of ‘where will we go next?’ and I said ‘somewhere warmer.’ It was purely fantasy at that time, we were too long in the tooth to make those predictions. I need to thank Rian for his faith in me, and I read the script for Knives Out and laughed my head off, and then here we are at number 2. I don’t need to know what he was up to when he was 12. Craig further elaborated on the good fortune that befell him by ending up with the role, which came to him just as he was wrapping up a near-two decade run as James Bond and admitted he couldn't believe his luck at getting such a meaty role immediately after concluding Bond. “I can’t believe my luck, I spent 17 years of my life doing that other thing [Bond] which has been glorious and wonderful, and for this role to fall into my lap, I couldn’t have expected it. And that's exactly what Daniel Craig, the man behind the accent, thinks the character should do.

James Bond. Benoit Blanc. FN-1824. Just a list of Daniel Craig's most iconic characters. If the last one seems slightly unfamiliar to you, that's because ...

Rian Johnson, who has directed Craig in both Knives Out and its upcoming sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, would go on to direct the sequel to The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi. These poor people have to wear them in the desert, I wouldn’t have done it if I had to go to Tunisia.” FN-1824 was a Stormtrooper featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a scene with Daisy Ridley's Rey, and becomes the first victim to her burgeoning Force powers. At least the two managed to connect to give us the gift of Benoit Blanc. I love Star Wars, I wouldn’t have asked to be in it otherwise. Craig enjoyed his cameo a great deal evidently, even if he couldn't quite remember his own character's name - and he didn't love the costumes either:

Daniel Craig has opened up about breaking the internet with his epic Belvedere advert, joking that it was 'very carefully edited'.

Daniel Craig is sharing his thoughts on the future of James Bond following his exit from the role.

That doesn't mean Craig doesn't care about James Bond of the future of the franchise. We can be sure that another movie will be coming, given the continued popularity of the franchise. Without a presence on social media, and spending his free time in other ways, the actor says he has no concern or care about what's going on with the James Bond role, rumors or otherwise. Last year, Craig said goodbye to Bond with No Time to Die, the final installment of his 5-movie run that began in 2006 with Casino Royale. Here lately, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has emerged as an actor who could potentially play the role. Given the definitive ending of No Time to Die, it's pretty clear that Craig is really finished with his journey as the iconic secret agent.

Daniel Craig has now commented on all those MCU casting rumors circling around the web.

With Balder's concept art baring Craig’s likeness, that alone is confirmation enough that he was at least officially considered for the role. It's a lot of lockdown craziness." "I would take any job if the hours were good (laughs)... Not only that, but Daniel Craig was rumored to have been in the role. "It's all rumor... The group consisted of Professor X,

Daniel Craig famously cameos as a stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the actor now reveals just how uncomfortable the costume was.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens may not go down in history as one of the best movies in the franchise, but it certainly delivered some moments of strong emotion, epic action, and even a few fun stormtrooper cameos. [Craig appears in a brief cameo as stormtrooper](https://screenrant.com/star-wars-force-awakens-daniel-craig-cameo-details/) FN-1824 in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, acting as a guard at Rey's cell after she's been imprisoned. In some ways, Abrams' movie serves as a "Greatest Hits" album of the Star Wars universe. After their 2015 entry, Disney released Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which ended up being one of the most divisive movies in the franchise. [Star Wars: The Force Awakens](https://screenrant.com/tag/star-wars-7/). Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, which kicked off a new trilogy and introduced characters like Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Poe (Oscar Isaac), while also bringing back legacy characters like Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).

Daniel Craig ended his journey as 007 last year with the release of No Time To Die, and the hunt is on for the next James Bond.

He explained: "I hope I’ve left it in a good place and I hope the next person can just make it fly. Craig has also given some insightful advice to whoever replaces him in the years to come. This is not the first time Craig has spoken out about the future of James Bond. But last year Craig was very open about the fact that Bond should remain a man. I don't go on the internet." The 54-year-old added: "I just…

Online speculation suggested that the former James Bond would play Thor's brother Balder the Brave in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.

[Phase Zero](https://twitter.com/PhaseZeroCB/status/1595101897387638785) podcast, Craig responded to the possibility of being in the MCU by saying, “I should be so lucky.” Of course, if he did end up becoming part of the series, he’d be joining his wife Rachel Weisz, who appeared in 2021's [Black Widow](https://www.avclub.com/black-widows-connection-to-hawkeye-on-disney-plus-was-a-1848202360).

However, that has yet to include [Daniel Craig](https://www.avclub.com/james-bond-death-daniel-craig-planned-years-ago-1849904493). In a new interview with BBC Radio 1, Craig says that this was all speculation.

Don't expect to see anybody but Daniel Craig return for Knives Out 3.

On the one hand seeing old cast return could certainly be fun, but part of what makes Glass Onion so great is the ways in which it is a complete departure from Knives Out. At the same time, the casting bar for this franchise is incredibly high and Rian Johnson will have to find a dozen or so great actors to become part of the new story, so maybe bringing back previous performers would be a good idea, as it would just make casting the film a lot easier. While speaking with Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig for Glass Onion, [On Demand Entertainment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hldh2OYGZgk) shared a clip of Jamie Lee Curtis saying [she wished that she could have returned](https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2565321/jamie-lee-curtis-response-netflixs-knives-out-sequels-rian-johnson) for the sequel. But now with two movies full of great actors, if you were going to bring some of them back, there would almost certainly be some who wouldn’t get the call and would be annoyed. [mystery stories in the vein of Agatha Christie](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1549511/the-bbc-is-making-a-ton-of-agatha-christie-adaptations), each case stands on its own, so only the detective is the same. [Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc](https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/daniel-craig-compares-knives-outs-benoit-blanc-to-james-bond) has been the only actor lucky enough to appear in both movies, and Rian Johnson says that’s the way it needs to be, because if they bring one person back, they’ll need to bring everybody back.

The release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens came with the reveal that Daniel Craig had an uncredited cameo as a stormtrooper, leading many audiences to ...

In a separate interview with Josh Horowitz on the [Happy Sad Confused](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_mx8Jf42aM) podcast, Craig was asked if he’d ever heard of Balder the Brave, to which he responded with a hesitant “No,” before hiding behind his mug and adding, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” As for whether he would ever want to appear in the MCU, the actor responded, “I would take any job if the hours were good… [concept art](https://www.instagram.com/p/CjR6mBBq6lG/) of the character even emerged with Craig’s likeness.

It was rumored that Daniel Craig almost joined the MCU in Doctor Strange 2, and the actor is refusing to give a straight answer on if it's true.

Horowitz was a bit sly with how he asked at first, quizzing Craig if he's "ever heard of the character Balder the Brave." In a new interview with Josh Horowitz for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Craig was put into the hot seat when he was directly asked about the rumors.

Daniel Craig now shuns the rumours that he was ever involved with MCU's Doctor Strange 2 or Thor: Love And Thunder. Read on to know.

Now how much of this is true only both the parties involved can tell. There’s a lot of lockdown craziness.” This means he was never in the game at all.
