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.
