Why do people keep saying that? He's only James Bond if he does another Bond film. If he doesn't, then he's just an actor between jobs. We don't know yet.
You mean he's not actually James Bond, that he realliy is just a man called Daniel Craig?
As long as he still gets his cameo in each film still,he will be happy.
I think the convention has always been that until EON announces otherwise the current actor is assumed to be the current 'official' Bond. It's pretty simple.
For this reason Dalton was the 'official Bond actor' from 86 to 94 or whatever the dates were, even though he never made another film after 89. In 1991 when they were openly planning the next Dalton release he hadn't ceased being Bond even though he never set foot on another Bond set.
Your obsession with the idea that the actors cease to be the official actor between movies is odd to say the least.
I didn't think it needed clarifying @Getafix, but you Sir have done so eloquently.
Up till a few years ago I had a 1993 copy of Empire where it discussed the next Bond film to be written by Michael France, and starring Timothy Dalton. Wish I still had it.
Either way, the current actor is Bond till EON or they say otherwise. But EON generally get to announce it.
It's not that hard.
:/
That's possible yep.
I've heard nothing about him being in SP either.
Shame.
I think he got the point
Aaah thanks for that @BondAficionado !!
I will have to look out for those next time.
In the katter scene you can also see Gregg standing beside his father.

Learned 2 new things today about the films .

Yes, a Bond actor is incumbent until he is dethroned by another actor's announcement, but never until then. The fact that this had to be argued is worrying indeed.
And even after your time is done, you remain James Bond forever. Sean, George, Roger, Tim and Pierce are all James Bond and always will be, irrespective of the fact that Dan is the current one. Like former presidents, the title always sticks. The Sensational Six stand as one.
Pierce Brosnan was also Thomas Crown though.
If he doesn't come back, it still makes sense to wait, because I'm sure that he benefits from still being the official Bond actor when negotiating other acting gigs and the entire outfit benefits from not having the rumour mill in overdrive (if there was no incumbent the press speculation would be deafening in comparison to now).
We'll know soon enough. Probably by the end of this year.
EDIT: McGuigan may have an occupied schedule:

Some plot involving cyber attack. I'd imagine if Ian Fleming were alive in 2017 he'd have SPECTRE using cyber attacks. A SPECTRE cyber attack against the European Union!
Twice
Even though I'm sure your reasoning behind this is fuelled by your hopes of Craig vacating the role in favour of Turner, I think you kind of have a point.
Make no mistake, Craig is the current Bond...until he's not. The facts that we are aware of doesn't guarantee Craig will be back, however, the facts also do not confirm that he won't be back either. Look at the Brosnan situation, after DAD he himself and in the company of the producers no less confirmed he'd be back for a 5th outing and look what happened there.
Exactly. Same thing happened to Dalton. They fully expected him back, but other affairs got in the way. I've tried to warn people that the same can happen again.
Having said that, I agree that we have no clue what's going on at present. Just a rumour mill in full swing with conflicting back and forth.
