However, the actor portraying James Bond, Daniel Craig announced his exit from the role in his own terms: “I’ve always had a sort of hidden vision for the entire thing and where I wanted to take it.” With No Time To Diein 2021, he said goodbye to 007.

Now, who can carry on the series as the original 007 actor declared his retirement? Though there was no confirmation at the time, there were only rumors that Cillian Murphy would be playing the part. Now, Pierce Brosnan, who became the fifth Bond actor, has officially endorsed Murphy to play the enduring character.
