Daniel Craig has admitted he doesn't "care" about who succeeds him as James Bond.
The actor took his final bow as 007 over three years ago in No Time to Die, though confirmation of his replacement is yet to emerge.
While speaking to Variety to promote his new movie Queer, Craig was asked: "If you were to pass the James Bond torch, who would you love to see play him?"

While Craig hasn't endorsed anyone, a studio boss recently suggested that fans will have to be patient regarding who will play Bond next.
