The 25th film in the James Bond series will reportedly bring back Daniel Craig, according to the New York Times.
The official James Bond Twitter account announced on Monday that the next movie is set to hit theaters on November 8, 2019, but they stopped short of revealing the star or the director.

The NYT spoke to two sources who say Daniel Craig will indeed be back (they say it’s a “done deal”). It’s a tad surprising given the actor’s strong remarks last year against playing James Bond again, but hey… money!
This is also good news if you believe the tabloids, who’ve said that Christoph Waltz was only returning as Blofield if Craig came back.
Craig has starred in four James Bond films to date: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and 2015’s Spectre.
