Hollywood superstar Daniel Craig has reportedly been offered $150 million to star in two more James Bond films, according to Radar.
“The studio is desperate to secure the actor’s services while they phase in a younger long-term successor,” a source told the celebrity news site. In the running to take over the iconic role as 007 includes actors Tom Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Chris Hemsworth and a few others – with Elba as a popular choice amongst Bond fans.

However, as for Craig – “Everyone knows how much executives [at Sony] adore him, and the idea of losing him at such a crucial time in the franchise isn’t an option as far as all the studio honchos are concerned,” said the source.
“Daniel’s the key for a seamless, safe transition as far as Sony and Bond bosses are concerned, and they’re prepared to pay a king’s ransom to make it happen.”
The story has not been confirmed by Sony or by representatives for Craig.
