Sources are saying that Sony are throwing millions at Daniel Craig to keep him on board as the series main character.

According to Radar, executives have offered the actor $150 million (Rs 997 crore) to play Bond in two more feature film, the two of which would be shot back-to-back.

Whether Craig accepts the offer is anyones guess at the moment: before the release of Spectre, the 48-year-old told one interviewer Id rather slash my wrists than play Bond again despite being paid a rumoured $65m (Rs 432 crore) for the film.

However, a source told Radar this may have actually played to Craigs advantage: [He] has played a genius hand. Everyone knows how much executives adore him, and the idea of losing him at such a crucial time in the franchise isnt an option as far as all the studio honchos are concerned.
