He is a straight guy, who doesn't play games. Actually, he is TOO straight for his own good at times.
Exactly, B25 is right around the corner, what have you got to be sad about? You should be excited! :D
Also remember it was the Mail who broke the news that Brosnan was axed in 2003 and they also revealed Craig had been cast in 2005.
I'm kinda sad that Craig has drawn such a firm line under not returning. Especially as SP was a tad disappointing, I felt he deserved a better send-off. I also thought the story possibilities with Waltz and Seydoux returning were vast, however I suppose the chances of seeing them again die with Craig's exit.
So....who will be the next Bond? Will EON go with a star or an unknown? One thing to bear in mind is that the franchise game has changed in recent years and established stars are all looking for a sure thing. My punt is that EON have their pick of leading men.
One name that people keep forgetting to talk about is Tom Hardy
This is nonsense. Where did you see weary? From what I remember, he did a huge amount of promo as usual and was a good sport with it all. Not weary at all.
As for the rest - yes, I suppose.
This is why media and consumers of media give me headaches. One little "story" gets reported, then a few people naive enough to trust it push it out into the interwebs with every fiber of their annoying beings until you've got a whole band of keyboard warriors stuffing it down your throat like it's gospel. So many are prepared to call this news solid and Dan out of the job, when we haven't hear a thing from EON since Spectre hit theaters. Come on, folks. You're all better than this.
If we're seriously looking towards Twitter for truth, we've well and truly lost the plot.
To be fair the Twitter post said 'apparently'

I agree, EON have worked a lot quicker than we have given credit for. I knew something was up when they jetted Turner out to LA less than 6 months after SP released. My guess is Craig let them know that he wasn't coming back come hell or highwater and he has been covering for them, so they can get a headstart on all the press scrutiny. All this "I just need 6 months" business was just smoke and mirrors. Expect B25 Nov 2018.
Why? Very recently he said he wanted it.
Yes, a clarification from EON must come after this. Otherwise we'll all go nuts. Some already have, but that's besides the point.
Though, looking at all the feed coming in, this cavalcade of news stories about Dan supposedly turning down a deal are all recycled from the original, right down to how the articles are paragraphed and split into content. It's a domino effect where one writer copied another writer, who got copied by another writer, same as usual. I still see nothing concrete in sight, like there never is in these situations. Mostly because it's all nonsense.
I could, for instance, post a story about how @Creasy47 is going bald and release it to the world, and if @Murdock, @Dragonpol, @doubleoego and countless others followed suit and ran with the same story, over time people would actually believe it to be true, just because it's a widely trending story.
Goes without saying.
That's why it's imperative, if he's done, that the next actor be a little more committal with the press regarding his Bond tenure until it is truly done, rather than be wishy washy about it.
Craig more than anyone could have killed all rumours (including Elba) if he had come out and said a few years back that he is James Bond for the forseeable future.
And 2 year gaps!
Well, I hope for all of you Bond fans, that the next actor will be comparable to DC in terms of committment to the role, whilst on set. This is where it counts. End of story.
