Personally I have no idea. Could go in all possible directions. He might try directing at some point. Form a production company with Rachel, as everybody seems to do these days and go from there.
He might do "team" movies, like Monuments Men was.
Theater, hopefully in England.
Another Bond before all this or between ;;)
Fingers crossed.
this.
Completely agree!
Same, I hope for a 2nd film between Spectre and Bond 25.
He did.
So far, I have not yet seen a good, solid source confirming DC's involvement.
Yeah, he’ll definitely do that.
The last thing I think craig would want to do after bond is spoof the character he is too much of a serious actor to be doing that
This is the issue for every Bond actor. And it is a reason DC was so reluctant to sign on. I don't think any Bond actor (during his tenure) has had huge success outside the franchise. Connery's biggest hits came years after Bond. Interestingly, Brosnan had the most success outside Bond, as Dante's Peak and The Thomas Crown Affair did all right. Moore did nothing, except for Cannonball Run...and that was as part of a large ensemble and he basically played a spoof of himself.
Here are the biggest hits by Bond actors outside of Bond films (according to Box Office Mojo, using adjusted for inflation numbers):
1. The Cannonball Run $237m
2. Dantes Peak $134m
3. Thomas Crown Affair $124m
4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo $119m*
5. Cowboys and Aliens $115m
* I would argue that TGWTDT was the best non-Bond film by a Bond actor. And it may be the best performance, too. Sony screwed up by releasing it as a Christmas film. Whoops. Otherwise, DC and Rooney Mara would have done the other two films, with Fincher either directing or producing.
- Connery starred in several classics following his Bond career.
- Lazenby did pretty much nothing else, but he was not an actor to begin with and only played Bond once (in a movie which was regarded a classic Bond flick only several years after it was released).
- Moore played the role until he was 57, there's no wonder his career pretty much ended after that.
- Dalton has starred in several TV shows such as Chuck and Penny Dreadful in prominent roles.
- Brosnan is still making lots of films, and even though he does not star in classic movies his fans love him (recently on Reddit I saw people claiming they're going to watch his new movie, the one with Bautista in it, only because it stars Brosnan despite looking a garbage film)
- We'll see what Craig wants to do after Bond 25, but he surely will take part in any roles he's interested in.
Presumably, his priorities will be very different, and they would need to balance their schedules for the child's sake.
