Daniel Craig has discussed his hopes for Bond 24.

The James Bond actor told Vulture that he hopes to "reclaim the old irony" from earlier films, in the next instalment of the long-running franchise.

He said: "Hopefully we'll reclaim some of the old irony and make sure it doesn't become pastiche.

"I can't do shtick, I'm not very good at it. Unless it kind of suddenly makes sense. Does that make sense? I sometimes wish I hammed it up more, but I just can't do it very well, so I don't do it."

The actor will begin filming the next Bond movie - rumoured to be based on Sebastian Faulks's 2008 novel Devil May Care - after he completes his 14-week run on Broadway in Harold Pinter's Betrayal.

Craig stars opposite his real-life wife Rachel Weisz in the play about a woman who has a seven-year affair with her husband's best friend.

Bond 24 - headed up by Skyfall director Sam Mendes - will be released in the UK on October 23, 2015 and in the US on November 6, 2015.
