The Odd Reason Daniel Craig Is The Perfect James Bond, According To Jason Isaacs
Jason Isaacs reveals the hilarious reason why Daniel Craig is the perfect actor for James Bond. After first appearing in 2006's Casino Royale, Craig would go on to appear as the character in four subsequent movies including Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and, most recently, No Time To Die. Serving as Craig's swansong as the iconic British superspy, No Time To Die was released in the fall of 2021 and proved to be a hit with both fans and critics. After numerous delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the movie ultimately performed well at the box office, earning over $774 million.
While No Time To Die was mostly positively received, Craig's run as Bond has been filled with ups and downs. Casino Royale remains a favorite 007 movie for many fans but Craig's next outing, Quantum of Solace, is widely regarded as one of his lesser entries. Skyfall, however, once again proved that Craig's Bond is one of the more popular iterations of the character before Spectre would go on to once more prove generally disappointing. Fan reaction to No Time To Die would suggest that, while it has not quite reached the same heights as Casino Royale or Skyfall, it marks a significant improvement over Quantum of Solace and Spectre.
