Sony Offers Daniel Craig $150 Million To Reprise James Bond Role In Two More Movies – Report

Daniel Craig could earn $150 million if he agrees to star in two more James Bond movies.

Daniel Craig’s $150M Offer

Sony, keen to hold on to Craig as their James Bond, is reportedly offering the actor $150 million to stay on board the franchise for two more films. The studio hopes to keep Craig long enough to successfully pass the torch onto a younger star

“The studio is desperate to secure the actor’s services while they phase in a younger long-term successor,” a source told Radar. The source added that Craig “has played a genius hand. Everyone knows how much executives adore him, and the idea of losing him at such a crucial time in the franchise isn’t an option as far as all the studio honchos are concerned.”

“Daniel’s the key for a seamless, safe transition as far as Sony and Bond bosses are concerned, and they’re prepared to pay a king’s ransom to make it happen,” the source added. “Then they will shoot two more films, which will be made virtually back-to-back, preferably featuring Daniel as 007 before he passes the figurative baton to someone else for a third movie that will mark the start of the new era.”

Earlier this year, it was reported that Craig had turned down a $100 million offer to continue his run as the British Secret Service agent.

“Daniel is done – pure and simple – he told top brass at MGM after Spectre. They threw huge amounts of money at him, but it just wasn’t what he wanted,” an insider told the Daily Mail at the time. “He had told people after shooting that this would be his final outing, but the film company still felt he could come around after Spectre if he was offered a money deal.”
