DANIEL Craig prowls with a harpoon gun in hand in the first glimpse of him returning as James Bond.

The actor, 51, was also seen holding a pistol on a Caribbean beach front while filming for his fifth outing as 007.

In a grey T-shirt and black trunks, Craig sipped on energy drinks and puffed on a cigar in between takes in Jamaica.

The filming comes amid claims of production rows and on-set problems for the 25th instalment of the super-spy franchise.

A source said: “The cast and crew have been working very long, exhaustive hours. Daniel seemed a bit glum. He kept himself to himself between takes — just hanging around with his security guards.”

At the official launch of the film last week, producers admitted they have no title or finished script.

American Cary Fukunaga is directing, but Craig is believed to be in creative control of the production and his demands are said to have caused problems.
