Exhibit A. Perfect timing, that.
Yes, that was a good comment from Craig. :)
Sporting a platinum-blond crew cut that somehow gave his head even more right angles than usual, Daniel Craig took the stage at the New Yorker Festival Friday night to discuss his life and career, a conversation in which one question loomed above all others: Was he ever going to play James Bond again? By way of an answer, Craig recalled the time last year he said he would prefer to slash his wrists rather than do another Bond movie. "They say that shit sticks, and that definitely stuck," he said with a laugh. "It was the day after filming [stopped on Spectre]. I'd been away from home for a year." The physical strains of the role combined with the distance from his family take a toll, he said. Craig was careful, though, about not seeming to complain to much: "Boo-hoo. It's a good gig. I enjoy it."
In the short term, Craig's schedule is full of other projects: He's shooting Steven Soderbergh's NASCAR-heist film Logan Lucky (the reason for the hair), preparing to play Iago on Broadway, and will star in and produce Showtime's adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's Purity. He said there have been "no conversations" about the next Bond film: "Everyone's a bit tired." Still, Craig didn't seem like he was ready to hang up the role for good. "As far as I'm concerned, I've got the best job in the world. I'll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it," he said. Then, later: "If I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terribly."
In total, it sounds like he is likely to return.

yikes.
Nothing is certain until it is certain. But watching back Craig's jovial, positive and nuanced attitude -and with it his answers- during the New Yorker's Festival, I'd guess he'll be back as 007 for a 5th time. But most likely we'll have to wait a bit longer for the movie in which he appears as 007 for the 5th time. If you're old enough, one can be patient. I can ;-).
@jake24, thanks for posting the video! I just finished it and was going to do the same as you.
There's a lot of great exclusive footage here, and I loved to hear Dan talk about how his grandfather being a master tailor motivated him to come to Bond with certain style expectations. And boy does it show.
David did a great job representing fans of Bond and his style, and provided a truly measured response to Dan's remarks about the character and what that could mean for the future of the franchise and his involvement in it.
Dammit, @Gustav_Graves, what have I told you about that word! ;) You should know that @TheWizardOfIce recently had it trademarked, so you've got to pay him 5 quid every time you use it.
Also, he's now misusing it. The phrase 'a nuanced attitude' is grammatically poor.
@RC7, dare I say that was a nuanced™ deconstruction of Gustav's grammar.
You cheeky...
