It's been over three years since Daniel Craig surrendered his 'licence to kill' as James Bond. Even as the search is on, the actor said he doesn't care about who goes on to become the next Agent 007.

Craig, 56, first essayed the character in 2006's Casino Royale. He went on to star in four more movies Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and 2021's No Time to Die, being the fifth and final one.

In a recent conversation with entertainment news outlet Variety, the actor was asked a question on his preference of the actor to step into the shoes of the much-admired spy agent. "If you were to pass the James Bond torch, who would you love to see play him?"

To which he only had three words to respond with: "I don't care." He was asked about the number of times he portrayed the character on screen. "I’m going to get it wrong," he said.

"I’d have to count them. I don’t know." Previously, Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan have played James Bond on screen.

'I don’t care': Daniel Craig on when asked about who would he want to be next James Bond

Vidya Balan headlines filmmaker Anu Menon's new whodunnit Neeyat which features an ensemble cast that includes actors like Ram Kapoor, Shahana Goswami, Niki Walia, Prajakta Kohli and others. The makers unveiled the trailer of the film on social media on Thursday and one can't help but notice the striking similarity the film has with Daniel Craig starrer Knives Out.&nbsp; 
 
Set in the breathtakingly beautiful highlands of Scotland, the engaging trailer takes the viewer into the glamourous world of billionaire Ashish Kapoor and his close circle of family and friends, where everyone is tangled in their own web of secrets. When Ashish Kapoor ends up being murdered at his own party, it is up to detective Mira Rao to uncover the hidden motives and mysteries in this classic whodunnit. 
&nbsp; 
The movie also features a strong ensemble cast featuring Ram Kapoor, Rahul Bose, Neeraj Kabi, Amrita Puri, Shahana Goswami, Niki Walia, Dipannita Sharma, Shashank Arora, Prajakta Koli, Danesh Razvi, Ishika Mehra and Madhav Deval in pivotal roles.&nbsp;This is Anu Menon and Vidya Balan's second film together. The two had collaborated earlier in Shakuntala Devi.&nbsp;

Watch the trailer of Neeyat here:&nbsp;

Speaking about her experience of working on Neeyat and returning to the big screen, Vidya Balan said, “What I enjoy most about being an actor is the opportunity to live the life of a different person with every character I play. In Neeyat, Detective Mira Rao is not your everyday, classic detective which is what made it great fun for me. Also, not only did I get a chance to sink my teeth into an unusual and quirky character but I also got to work with a powerful set of co-actors. This film is my second outing with Anu after Shakuntala Devi and my fourth collaboration with Vikram, Abundantia Entertainment, and Prime Video and I can only say that I have had the most amazing time working with them to make this film. Last but not least, I’m supremely delighted to be back in theatres with the release of Neeyat and am waiting with bated breath for audience reactions." 
 
Neeyat marks Vidya Balan’s return to theatres after her successful digital stint with three super hit films - Shakuntala Devi (2020) to the critically hailed Sherni (2021) and finally the impactful blockbuster Jalsa (2022).

Neeyat will release across theatres worldwide on July 7th.

Neeyat trailer: Vidya Balan turns detective in a desi version of Knives Out

If you marveled at Kate Hudson's svelte figure in 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' then you are one of us. Hudson looked stunning in her orange bikini in pool side scenes of the film which was released last week on Netflix.&nbsp; 
 
Now, the actress has joked bout her diet while she was filming the scenes.&nbsp; 
 
Hudson made the gag on ITV`s 'This Morning' show on Wednesday, while discussing her poolside scene where she wears an orange two-piece. She said about abstaining from booze being drunk by other cast members to keep her figure, "When everybody was having Aperol spritz, I was waiting for that scene to be shot. So, I was like, 'I'll just have that cucumber."&nbsp; 
 
Hudson added about getting involved in the film, which also stars Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, "When we found out they were doing a second one (`Knives Out`), I was like gonna barrel (director) Rian Johnson`s door down. I was like, `I want in.` We were really locked down together because of COVID." 
 
"It was right at the peak of Delta (the COVID variant) so we couldn`t go anywhere. We`d rent out a bar, do murder mysteries and then have parties. That`s how we kept entertained." 
 
Hudson, who plays Birdie Jay in the 'Knives Out' sequel, previously recalled during an interview that the cast enjoyed wild parties during filming due to lockdown, "We had so much fun. It was at the height of Delta and we were in Belgrade, Serbia so the producer was like, 'You are not leaving this hotel.'" 
 
"Which is kind of like a nightmare in itself but they would rent the bar upstairs and we would just, you know, the circus got up there and we just started drinking. And when the circus starts drinking, things get weird and we had a blast." 
 
'Knives Out 2' has Daniel Craig reprising the role of detective Benoit Blanc who travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colourful suspects, played by Edward Norton, Janelle, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals ‘Knives Out’ Thrombey family will not return in the sequels

The world might be eagerly waiting to watch Ana de Armas in the James Bond film 'No Time To Die' but the actress admits that she felt she was not cut out for the role. 
 
While speaking to a magazine, Ana said she was "shocked" when director Cary Fukunaga offered her a role in 'No Time To Die' as she associated the character of a Bond girl with beauty standards that go "beyond the normal". 
 
The film marks the fifth and final appearance of franchise star Daniel Craig as the iconic spy James Bond. 
 
"Bond girls have been portrayed for so many years with a specific type of woman," Ana was quoted as saying. 
 
The 'Knives Out' star said Fukunaga called her up saying he wanted to cast her but the character was yet to be written. 
 
"I associate it with some sort of perfection and beauty standards beyond the normal. Things that I didn't match, I was shocked when the director called me to say, 'The character is not written yet but we want you to do it'," the Cuban actor added. 
 
Ana, 31, plays Paloma, a CIA agent assisting Bond, in the film. 
 
The actor said she wanted to do something different with her character in 'No Time to Die', instead of being "rescued" or "evil". 
 
"I needed to read that script. And it took a little, but they sent me the scenes. It's important because I want to bring something else to the story," she added. 
 
'No Time To Die' is Daniel Craig's last outing as 007 agent. The film was earlier scheduled to release worldwide in April but has now been pushed to November 12 release in the UK and November 25 release in the US due to the pandemic.

No Time To Die: Ana de Armas didn't think she was cut out to be a Bond girl

Hit murder mystery 'Knives Out'&nbsp;is set to become a whodunit movie franchise, with Daniel Craig's Southern gentleman sleuth tackling a brand-new set of suspects, its creator told AFP.

The 2019 movie was a massive success for writer-director Rian Johnson, previously best known for the divisive blockbuster 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi.'

An Agatha Christie homage about a family patriarch murdered in his sprawling mansion, "Knives Out" on Tuesday passed $300 million at the global box office, despite a budget of just $40 million.

"It's always been in my head that if this one does alright, then it'd be really fun to do more of these," said Johnson.

The film was nominated for the best original screenplay Oscar -- losing out to history-making 'Parasite'&nbsp;-- and last week studio Lionsgate confirmed a sequel.

"It's really more like another case, another set of suspects, another type of mystery, but with Daniel's Benoit Blanc character there to solve it," said Johnson.

He has begun writing the second film, with plot details under wraps -- "I'm just starting to fish around... There will be a murder, I can say that!"

But there will be "a whole new cast and whole new location and everything."

The first film boasted an impressive ensemble cast including 'Captain America'&nbsp;Chris Evans, soon-to-be Bond girl Ana de Armas and veteran actress Jamie Lee Curtis.

"That's the other fun thing about thinking about the next one... what other actors could we rope into this?" said Johnson.&nbsp;

- 'Wood-paneled rooms' - 
Johnson first came up with the notion of 'Knives Out'&nbsp;a decade ago.

Having dedicated four years to making 2017's space epic 'The Last Jedi'&nbsp;for Disney, Johnson was itching to quickly switch to something galaxies away from that "big filmmaking world."&nbsp;

"I had a great time working on 'Star Wars'... I genuinely enjoyed that aspect of it," said Johnson.

But the idea of a film "we could make quickly, and just have some fun with actors talking in wood-paneled rooms -- you can see how that would be appealing," he added.

Johnson remains linked to a brand new 'Star Wars'&nbsp;trilogy, announced in 2017 but plagued by rumors it had been canceled after the experimental 'Last Jedi'&nbsp;enraged die-hard fans.

"I still have a great relationship with Lucasfilm, and nothing's been announced," said Johnson.

- 'Foghorn Leghorn' - 
Beyond the traditional detective formula, 'Knives Out'&nbsp;earned praise for its comedic aspects, including its satirical look at the wealthy family's prejudices.

And, of course, there was British 007 actor Craig's drawling "deep South" accent, based on the late American Civil War historian Shelby Foote.

"It ended up being kind of Shelby Foote by way of Foghorn Leghorn," joked Johnson.

"He would go, 'Was that too much?' And I'd say, 'No keep going!'"

The accent drew scorn from some viewers, but Johnson insists Craig's deliberately "humane and clownish" accent was "never just like a joke."

"It takes a really, really good actor to go big and stay real."

Although Craig is the only actor resuming his role, social and class themes from 'Knives Out'&nbsp;are likely to return.

The genre provides the perfect chance to tackle social issues without appearing to lecture or preach, said Johnson.

"In a whodunit, you have this little microcosm of society with your group of suspects," he said.

Just as Christie used the genre to turn "the lens on contemporary British society of her time," the franchise offers "a great opportunity to me to set it modern-day in America and turn the lens on ourselves a little bit," he added.

Knives Out&nbsp;is released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD by Lionsgate on February 25.

'Knives Out' director plots whodunit franchise after 'Star Wars'

We can finally put to rest all those speculative stories as Rian Johnson’s successful film ‘Knives Out’ gets a go-ahead for the sequel.&nbsp;

‘Knives Out 2’ will be moving forward at Lionsgate.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed the studio is officially moving forward with a Knives Out sequel. Rian Johnson is expected to return for the sequel.

Before it was confirmed, fans of the film had called for a sequel as the director had beautifully weaved a murder-mystery into a whodunit film set in the modern era. ‘Knives Out’ had an ensemble cast of Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Chris Evans and others.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/did-knives-out-director-rian-johnson-confirm-a-sequel-to-the-hit-film-272695">Daniel Craig played the role of the film’s central detective</a>, Benoit Blanc. Unfortunately, its likely that no other star in the film will return as Rian had earlier said that Benoit will have a new mystery to solve with new cast.&nbsp;

There is no update on how soon ‘Knives Out’ will start developing.&nbsp;

Before it was confirmed, fans of the film had called for a sequel as the director had beautifully weaved a murder-mystery into a whodunit film set in the modern era. ‘Knives Out’ had an ensemble cast of Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Chris Evans and others. Daniel Craig played the role of the film’s central detective, Benoit Blanc. Unfortunately, its likely that no other star in the film will return as Rian had earlier said that Benoit will have a new mystery to solve with new cast. There is no update on how soon ‘Knives Out’ will start developing.

Did 'Knives Out' director Rian Johnson just confirm a sequel to the hit murder-mystery?

'Knives Out',&nbsp;a star-studded murder mystery written and directed by 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'&nbsp;director Rian Johnson premiered at the London Film Festival on Tuesday (October 8).

The movie stars James Bond actor Daniel Craig alongside an A-list cast including Chris Evans, Toni Collette, Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Johnson.

Craig plays a famed detective working with local police to find out who murdered a wealthy crime author played by veteran actor Christopher Plummer.

"It was nice doing something that had this much dialogue in it, I think that was the main difference. With Star Wars you try to be very economic with dialogue. It's fun to have all these amazing actors and give them a bunch of words to say and watch them chew on them," Rian Johnson told Reuters on the red carpet.

The all-star cast also includes new Bond girl Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, and LaKeith Stanfield.

"We bonded instantly. There was an incredible sense of commitment and respect for each other. We bounced right into it, there was no waiting, no rehearsals, no table read, no nothing, show up and bring it!" Don Johnson said.

'Knives Out'&nbsp;will be released in the United Kingdom and the United States on November 27, and globally in late November and early December.
