Daniel Craig Confirms His Return As James Bond On ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’
After months of speculation on whether or not Daniel Craig will suit up as 007 for the next James Bond film, the actor made it official Tuesday night on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Colbert danced around the subject saying that it has been reported that he would come back as the iconic spy. Craig, who felt that if he should speak the truth, he would speak it to Colbert, simply said “Yes.” No additional details were given, but this will be his final Bond film.
