Daniel Craig could be longest running James Bond

“Daniel’s been a terrific Bond,a superb actor and a terrific man. The fans love him and I don’t think there’s a better actor to play the part,” the Daily Mail quoted producer Michael G Wilson as telling The People.

If the actor accepts the deal,he would be ahead of current longest-running Bond,Roger Moore,by one movie.

It would also knock Sean Connery,who played the spy in six films,from second position.

“I’d love Daniel to surpass Roger’s record and do eight pictures. A lot of people have said Daniel’s been their favourite Bond since Sean Connery and I can’t argue with them. He’s doing a great job,” Wilson said.

While Wilson did not confirm financial details,it is rumoured Craig will earn more than the 8 million pounds he is reportedly being paid for Skyfall.
