...idris has himself said that he's too old for the role. a role that is *extremely* taxing from a physical standpoint:

"When asked if we’ll see him play Ian Fleming‘s suave super spy again, Craig had this to say:

"I’m contracted for one more – but I’m not going to make predictions. (Physically) It’s getting harder. But such is life. I’ll keep going as long as I’m physically able."

Daniel Craig is 47 years old, and the physical challenges these films require would probably put an actor half his age through the wringer. Spectre took eight months to shoot, which doesn’t account for the training Craig has to undergo before principal photography.

In a new interview with Time Out, the actor has a slightly different, and less optimistic, response as for whether he’ll come back for 25th installment in the franchise:

"Now? I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on."
