Even the casting of James Bond himself is up for debate, after tough filming on previous venture Spectre in 2015 caused Daniel Craig - who currently plays the English secret agent - to say he would rather 'slash his wrists' than return to the role.

He also said he doesn't 'give a f**k' about who should take over the role, which stars such as Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery have played in the past.

Exciting: The news was announced on the film's official Twitter page

Since Craig's comments, a number of actors have been rumoured to take over the role of the Secret Service agent including Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner, Tom Hardy, Damian Lewis and Idris Elba.

However, whilst no-one has yet been cast as his replacement, Dunkirk director Christopher Nolan is reportedly in talks to helm the feature.

Asked if he would ever tackle a James Bond movie, Christopher said: 'A Bond movie, definitely.

Convinced? A source revealed revealed: 'It’s taken time but Daniel has come round and the strong consensus in the Bond offices is that Mr Craig is 007 again'

'I've spoken to the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson over the years. I deeply love the character and I'm always excited to see what they do with it.

'Maybe one day that would work out. You'd have to be needed, if you know what I mean. It has to need reinvention; it has to need you. And they're getting along very well.'

At the start of the month, it was revealed that Craig reportedly 'coming round' to the idea of starring in a fifth installment - after months of swirling speculation regarding his replacement.

According to the Mirror, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is thought to have secured the 49-year-old actor for the next 007 movie, alongside singer Adele for another iconic theme tune.

Man of the hour: It is no wonder producers are keen for Daniel to take on the role, as he has seen huge success as the spy - resulting in him being the highest-paid Bond actor ever

The paper reported that while it has taken some time, Barbara has managed to 'talk Craig round' into filming as the famous spy once again - despite previously claiming he would not return to the role.

And while she remains unconfirmed, the producer is also said to be 'determined' to sign Adele up to record the new theme tune, following the success of Skyfall - which became the first Bond song to win at the Grammys, BRITs and Oscars.

A source revealed: 'Craig and Adele together are the winning team, the ultimate choice, the money spinners.

'It’s taken time but Daniel has come round and the strong consensus in the Bond offices is that Mr Craig is 007 again.

'As for Adele, she’s more of an unknown quantity but loved being part of Bond, so the signs are positive.'

The insider also added that Daniel's wife Rachel Weisz has approved of the project, and is willing for him to spend another year away to film.

Speculation has been swirling for years over who will be the next Bond - with Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender and James Norton all named as contenders.

Yet, it is no wonder producers are keen for Daniel to take on the role, as he has enjoyed enormous success since his first appearance as Bond in Casino Royale back in 2005.

The actor has played 007 on three further occasions, but he appeared adamant that the Sam Mendes directed Spectre, in which all four of Craig's Bond film's are neatly tied together, would be his last.

When asked if he would sign up to another film in the franchise, he told Time Out in 2015: 'I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists.

'No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done, all I want to do is move on.'

He added that if he did another movie, 'it would only be for the money.’

Craig was paid $10.7 million for 2012 smash Skyfall, making him the highest-paid Bond actor ever, as the film was the first Bond movie to break the one billion dollar mark.

Its enormous success led to Craig reportedly signing a deal to be paid £31 million for his next two 007 films, including Spectre, the 24th film in the franchise.

'I’m contracted for one more but I’m not going to make predictions,' he told Event in September 2014.

Whenever an iconic role is poised to be recast on the big-screen, there’s always one example that moviegoers cite as the template for how a popular character can live on for decades. Ever since Sean Connery first swaggered on-screen as James Bond in the 1962 film Dr. No, several actors have succeeded him as the suave super-spy with a knack for charming the ladies and saving the world.

So, as rumors swirl that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, might be set for a $150 million deal to return for two more films in the franchise, we take a look back at the history of the character with a ranking of all who have played James Bond to date.

For the record, we’re only looking at actors who starred in at least one of the 24 official Eon Productions films spanning from Dr. No to 2015’s Spectre. Accordingly, this will not include the 1967 version of Casino Royale. So don’t expect to see David Niven or any of the cast members posing as James Bond within the context of that film.

6. Timothy Dalton

Timothy Dalton in Licence to Kill MGM

Following the departure of Roger Moore after a seven-film tenure, Timothy Dalton stepped in to take over. His debut in The Living Daylights marked a creative shift for the series — taking it into a less tongue-in-cheek direction than Moore’s Bond — and was a critical and commercial hit.

However, some feel that he didn’t truly capture the character in as memorable of a way as his predecessors. No wonder his second film as 007, 1989’s Licence to Kill, marked his final appearance in the franchise, setting the stage for a six-year hiatus that wouldn’t end until Pierce Brosnan was cast.

5. George Lazenby

George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service United Artists

Given that he only played Bond in a single release (1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), it’s easy to write off George Lazenby’s short-lived time in the role as a mere misstep. It certainly doesn’t help that producers coerced Connery to come back one more time for Diamonds Are Forever after Lazenby had his chance as Bond. However, Lazenby’s film is now well-regarded among may fans for its efforts to lend Bond a personal story and the actor himself is praised for bringing something fresh to a character moviegoers had already seen on-screen several times throughout the 1960s.

4. Pierce Brosnan

Following Timothy Dalton’s brief run, Pierce Brosnan took the Bond films into a more modern era of action. While he retained the sophistication of his predecessors, Brosnan’s Bond proved that the character was still relevant. The actor — who had been in consideration for the role in years past, likely due to his work on TV’s Remington Steele — proved that the producer’s instincts were dead-on. His debut, GoldenEye, is also the first film in the series not to be based on Ian Fleming’s stories, making his status as one of the all-time great Bonds even more impressive.

3. Roger Moore

Roger Moore in Live and Let Die United Artists

Some fans may not love Roger Moore’s more playful, goofy version of 007, but if you discount Connery’s role in the unofficial release, Never Say Never Again, Moore has played the character more times on-screen than any actor in history (so far). His era of Bond films was responsible for proving the series’ longevity after Connery’s departure and Lazenby’s one-off. He also proved that Bond can work with a light-hearted approach. Moore finally got the chance to prove his mettle after reportedly being in the conversation to take the role before both of his predecessors were cast.

2. Daniel Craig

With the era of Christopher Nolan’s Batman and Jason Bourne series in full swing, James Bond needed to change with the times, especially considering just how bad the franchise got in the 2002 release, Die Another Day. Producers ultimately opted to reboot the entire franchise, telling the story of Bond’s first mission as 007.

Through the lens of Ian Fleming’s classic Casino Royale (which had never been given a proper on-screen adaptation), Daniel Craig was perfectly cast as a more serious and visceral version of the character, and director Martin Campbell (GoldenEye) once again reinvented Bond for a new generation.

1. Sean Connery

Though many men have had their martinis “shaken, not stirred” since James Bond became an iconic cinematic hero, none have embodied the role quite as well as its originator. Sean Connery balanced the wry humor, the effortless charm, and the powerful skill of James Bond like no other actor has. His performance has come to define the role for all who’ve taken it on in his wake, and while some may come close to matching his portrayal in legitimate classics like Goldfinger, Connery is still king in the eyes of many Bond fans.
