Daniel Craig is going to be playing James Bond for a long time to come, according to new reports.

The actor has reportedly signed up to star in a new film according to the Star, while his SPECTRE co-star Dave Bautista says he expects him to play 007 for at least another film.

"Everybody is talking about who the next Bond will be but Daniel hasn't said he is quitting the role yet," he said.

"From the conversations we had on the set of Spectre I think he will do at least one more.

"I say at least because the conversations I had with him are not the conversations of a man who is ready to say goodbye to the role."

Craig also recently opened up about his loathing of selfie-hunters.

The 47-year-old, due to reprise his role as the British spy in the forthcoming Spectre movie, said he could "do without" people approaching him for photographs.

He told The Sunday Times' Culture magazine: "If me and my mates went out and all got sh*t-faced, and someone started taking photographs, they'd get thumped.

"The other thing I don't get is, people are happy to take pictures of me without asking. But things have changed so rapidly.

"Nobody really gives a f*** what I think about the modern world, but that part I can do without."

Questions remain about Craig's future as Bond - a character, by his own admission, who is deeply flawed and misogynistic - and said he does not care who takes on the role.

He said: "The right person for the job should do the job and I don't give a f what colour their skin is. It shouldn't be an issue. We should have moved on."
