Daniel Craig has revealed that he will never quit playing James Bond.

The 44-year-old actor, whose third Bond movie Skyfall is released in October this year, claimed that he "will keep going until they tell [him] to stop".

Speaking to the BBC, Craig said:

"I know there'll be someone after me, and hopefully someone after them - I'm just trying to keep [the franchise] going."

Of Skyfall, the star added:

"We haven't been resting on our laurels, we've been plotting what to do with this film.

"The first one was a whirr - it was a new experience and flew by - the second one was the tricky second album, but this one we've really planned and got a great script.

"It's going to be different from the last one, but it will still be a great Bond movie."

Adele is front-runner to record the theme tune for the 23rd Bond adventure.

The film, directed by Sam Mendes, will be released in cinemas on 26 October 2012.
