Daniel Craigin viimeisessä 007-elokuvassa myös henkilöhahmo itse menehtyi. Itse elokuvien sarja kuitenkin jatkuu jonkun toisen näyttelijän tulkitsemana. Daniel Craig olisi halunnut James Bondin kuolevan jo Casino Royalen jälkeen, ja tuottajan mukaan elokuvien huima menestys ei ollut mukavaa Craigille.
Empire Film Podcastissa puhunut tuottaja Broccoli teki paljastuksen.
Well Fleming had flirted with killing Bond off a few times. So it's always kind of been there. But I remember after Casino Royale, we had a premiere in Berlin, and after all the furor that went on about casting Daniel Craig, when we opened the movie and he was just an extraordinary success, it was a huge relief when we were traveling around the world. And we'd had this premiere in Berlin and I remember we got in the back of the limousine, we were all very happy. And Daniel said, "How many of these movies am I supposed to do?" And I was like "Oh my God." I wish I'd said ten. But I told him the truth. And he said, "How about killing me off?" I said "Daniel, we've only just done the first one. Don't start talking about killing yourself off."
