Daniel Craig\u00a0will be reprising his role as James Bond\u00a0one more time.<\/p>\n

“I just want to go out on a high note. I can’t wait,” he said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Although some people on social media weren’t too thrilled about the news, a lot of fans are excited about the actor’s return.<\/p>\n

One Twitter user is so happy about the announcement that it’s probably going to be all they’ll be talking about for a while:<\/p>\n

Doing another James Bond and your gonna have to deal with me flailing about this for the next two weeks, at least.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

James Evans wrote: “Daniel Craig is doing another James Bond and your [sic] gonna have to deal with me flailing about this for the next two weeks, at least.”<\/p>\n

From one Craig to another, the actor has won singer Craig David’s approval too:<\/p>\n

Ajay Chowdhury, editor of the James Bond International Fan Club magazine, told BBC 5 live: “He’s been the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful actor to play Bond.<\/p>\n

“He’s made Bond such an iconic character, no-one thought Bond would still be this important and get this much attraction.”<\/p>\n

While many fans are pleased to see Daniel Craig back as Bond, some people think it’s time to give another actor a go.<\/p>\n

Prem Mohanty\u00a0wrote on Twitter: “Seriously Daniel Craig is too old to play James Bond, 4 movies was quite enough.”<\/p>\n

Idris Elba had been\u00a0widely tipped in the past to take over, but that’s not going to happen – yet, at least.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user named\u00a0Hood Economist wrote: “Daniel Craig returning as Bond? Thoroughly enjoyed his Bond films but I was ready for @idriselba tbh!”<\/p>\n

    Craig as Bond – in numbers<\/p>\n

    • 51<\/strong>\u00a0– his age when his final film is released, making him only the second actor to play Bond as a 50-something, after Roger Moore<\/li>\n
    • $3.1bn<\/strong>\u00a0– the total global box office takings for Craig’s Bond films so far<\/li>\n
    • $37m<\/strong>\u00a0– the value of the cars Bond trashed for Spectre in 2015, according to Gary Powell, the film’s chief stunt co-ordinator, who spoke to\u00a0the Daily Mail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
