Daniel Craig Embraces Diverse Roles Post-Bond
10 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Craig no longer feels self-conscious in diverse roles after Bond.
- He is enjoying acting more and working harder than ever.
- Craig is open to continuing as Benoit Blanc if director invents.
Daniel Craig, who portrayed James Bond for 15 years, has transitioned to more varied acting roles, including Detective Benoit Blanc in 'Knives Out'. He recently shared that he is less wary of different characters now, finding a greater enjoyment and work ethic in his current pursuits.
Craig is open to reprising his role as Benoit Blanc, contingent on director Rian Johnson's continued innovation for the franchise. This shift comes after years of physically demanding Bond films, which once led him to express extreme reluctance about returning to the spy character.
The actor's tenure as Bond concluded with 'No Time to Die', and the search for his successor is ongoing. Meanwhile, Amazon has acquired the rights to the film series, with Denis Villeneuve set to direct the next installment.
