I'm pretty sure Craig would rather *be* Bond than *play* Bond. His post production - pre marketing interviews for both Skyfall and Spectre paint his experience as one of the most arduous and unenjoyable things he has ever done. I know he is under contract to be Bond for a fifth film, but I really doubt that he'll still have it in him to do the worst thing in life for a fifth time.
Its been 9 years of Bond for Craig, 2 more than Bronson's 7, 5 more than Dalton's 2. Sure he's still 3 years short of Moore's 12, but he's right on par with Connery's 9 EON years. Yes he's had a number fewer films than the two most Iconic Bonds, but a 70's or 80's mid-low budget action movie that the Connery and Moore era films were took a whole lot less out of the actor than today's extravaganzas.
Also, lets not forget Connery was wanting out of the Bond Business before his last 2 EON films, which the producers basically had to bribe him to be in. (Note: I'm excluding Never Say Never Again)
So yeah, new Bond seems about time. And there are plenty of young British actors to choose from. I just hope they don't get the kid from Kingsmen to do it. Our new Spiderman *is* a Brit...

As is our Doctor Strange and Superman...
I think Cavill would be okay. He held up his end of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., I think; he just didn't have much with which to work.
Wasn't ever entirely convinced Craig was [i]that/i] put out with it, though. Thought he probably just was blowing a lot of smoke, for the most part.
Rented it last night, pretty good movie. I had a problem with the isolated hideout. Given what it would need in supplies it would have come up in surveillance as a target of interest.
