Daniel Craig will be ordering the wrong drinks and driving Aston Martins for at least two more James Bond films and maybe more if studio executives have their way, he could become the longest-serving actor to play the Ian Fleming's character.
Roger Moore played the secret agents in seven official films and Seasn Connery played the character six times, although the 1983 film "Never Say Never Again," is not considered to be canonical with the other Bond films.
The James Bond fan site M16 broke the story, announcing that Sony Pictures has reached a new co-financing deal with Bond's current film studio MGM to continue making the British Spy's movies.
In 2005, Craig was contracted by Eon Productions to portray James Bond, becoming the first actor to portray James Bond after Bond creator Ian Fleming's death. The first film, Casino Royale, released in November 2006 and grossed a total of US $594,239,066 worldwide, making the film the highest grossing Bond film in the franchise's history.
Craig retuned to the role for the twenty-second and Craig's second James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace." While the film did not out gross its predecessor, the film became the second highest grossing Bond film.
Sony Hopes to make a new Bond film every two years, and according to the M16 report, Craig will appear in at least two further 007 adventures once his third Bon film "Skyfall" is completed and released. He has an option and other Bond adventures.
The 23 Bond film, "Skyfall," hits screens in the United Kingdom on Oct. 26, before releasing around the rest of the world in November.
"Skyfall" will be the first James Bond film to be released in IMAX theaters and will release for the franchise's 50th anniversary, which began with Dr. No in 1962.
