Daniel Craig was careful not to shut the door completely on the possibility that he would play Bond again in the future.

Speaking to the TV Times the Wirral actor said: "I have no thoughts about it. What the future holds, I don't know. That's the honest truth."

It has been heavily speculated that Craig would now step down from the role after fulfilling his £30million four-movie contract and previously told interviewers he would rather “slash my wrists” than agree to another Bond film.

There is also the fact that it has been reported that he will star in a 20-episode TV show for the US, only adding fuel to the rumours that he has hung up his sharp suits.

But, is the notoriously private man nodding towards a return to the 007 role as producers rally around the 25th Bond film in the franchise?

Bookies don't seem to feel he is still in the running for Bond 25, with many just not offering any odds on his return.

Instead, the odds on favourite at the moment is Poldark heart-throb Adrian Turner, closely followed by Taylor Swift's new boyfriend, Tom Hiddleston and Homeland's Damian Lewis.
