Daniel Craig Confirms He’ll Return to Bond Role

Update: Daniel Craig officially confirmed he will return as 007 in James Bond 25 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

When asked if he would return to the role, Craig responded 'yes' straight away.

"I always wanted to, I wanted a break," said Craig of stepping back into Bond's shoes.

Original story is below.

Despite reports claiming that Daniel Craig will indeed return to play 007 in James Bond 25, the man himself said he is unsure whether or not he will play Bond once again.

"No decision has been made at the moment, there's a lot of noise out there and nothing official has been confirmed and I'm not, like, holding out for more money or doing anything like that," Craig, who has portrayed Bond in four films so far starting with Casino Royale, explained on Boston radio show Morning Magic 106.7 (via Birth.Movies.Death.).

Wolfenstein 2 & Kicking Nazi Ass in Pop Culture

During a Wolfenstein 2 panel at E3 this year, I asked Bethesda’s VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda Softworks Pete Hines why people loved shooting things in the Wolfenstein series so much. I was immediately corrected by Hines, with notable urgency, that people don’t just love shooting ‘things’ in Wolfenstein, they love shooting Nazis.

It was a common sentiment sprouting from Bethesda and Wolfenstein developer MachineGames throughout their E3 showing, and it’s reflected in the first several hours of the game itself. In Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus you slice, chop, mangle, and dessicate Nazis in bold, brilliant relief. As American super spy B.J. Blazkowicz, you’re not surviving the Nazi regime, you’re absolutely brutalising it.

Walking Dead: Season 8 Is Taking the Fight Back to Negan

The Walking Dead returns in just a little over two months on October 22nd, but to preview the new season and look back at the big moments of Season 7, actor Tom Payne came by IGN for a sit-down interview.

The full interview is below, but one of the most interesting things Payne talked about was how the upcoming Season 8 premiere, which is also the show's 100th episode, serves as a jumping off point for what's to come.

"It's been just crazy action, and really exciting to film and to read and to be involved in," said Payne, who plays Jesus. "Scott Gimple's spoken a lot about the 100th episode being a jump off for the next hundred episodes. Season 8 certainly starts with a big bang and then continues to ramp up, which is really exciting. I know the audience will be really happy with certainly how it starts, because they're taking the fight back, and then every single episode in the first half there's a moment which makes you go, 'Wow, oh my god, I can't believe that.'"
