Daniel Craig Done With James Bond, Turns Down $99 Million

It seems Daniel Craig's time as James Bond has come to an end. He's reportedly turned down £68 million ($99 million) to star in two more 007 films. Plus, an interesting development regarding Tom Hiddleston as his potential replacement at MI6.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, actor Daniel Craig has officially let MGM know that he's done playing James Bond, turning down an offer of £68 million ($99 million US) to return to the franchise for two more installments. Aside from the $99 million, the deal also included endorsements and profit sharing as a producer. Some estimates speculate that in reality, Craig is walking away from a figure closer to $175 million US.
After four films as Bond, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre, where does Craig rank on your list of 007 actors?
In related news, this reports suspiciously coincides with bookmakers around the world no longer accepting bets on whether Tom Hiddleston will succeed Craig as 007. There were even sightings of Hiddleston meeting with Spectre director Sam Mendes and executive prodcer Barbara Broccoli. Could an announcement be imminent?

I will do it for 20 million. I will even do shitty British accent. It's a bargain.

love how these actors get "tired" of a character. i remember pierce brosnan fighting to get out of his contract with the remington steele people so he could play bond.... then whining that he didn't want to be type cast.

I have read that Craig did all of his own stunts. That it was very tiresome and took a toll on his body.

What an idiot.
He's not going to make that type of money off of his next 8 films.

He must be set for life and interested in pursuing projects that go in a different creative direction; I don't see him getting that kind of paycheck for any other future roles.

I can never get excited about the Bond movies. I usually watch them anyway though. IMO Daniel Craig has been the best one (before I get raped here, I haven't seen the older ones with Roger Moore and Sean Connery etc)

Well I mean I would assume he's set after starring in four Bond films.

I didn't even realize this was a thing. Would it be illegal for the person responsible for making this decision leaking it to a friend who goes on to bet the house on whoever the casting-guy tipped him off on?

I doubt he gets a better offer than $99 million. That's just about $50 million for each film.

I have him 2nd behind Connery. He had one of the best bond movies ever in Casino Royale and another great one in Skyfall. The others were disappointments. I'd have liked to have seen him once more to wrap it up.

Hiddleston to succeed as Bond
I like Hiddleston, but I'd much rather Fassbender.
I think Fassbender could be the best ever.

Bond franchise has been successful with a # of folks playing Bond so the actor isn't bigger than the role. The same can't be said right now at RDJ/Stark.
