Bond back in 2019, but will Craig be 007?

JAMES Bond will return to the big screen for a fresh instalment in 2019, creators have said.

Scripted by long-standing Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the new movie will come to UK cinemas before making its U.S. debut in November.

A statement from bosses said that Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli will return as producers, but a director and full cast have yet to be determined.

The announcement, made via social media yesterday, comes amid rumours that actor Daniel Craig ( above) may be considering stepping down from his 11-year reign as 007, previously made famous by the likes of the late Sir Roger Moore, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan.

Craig ( above), 49, has played the suave special agent for the past four titles – Casino Royale (2006), Quantum Of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015). DURING WWII, Canada tested killer darts on sheep dressed in military uniform
