(TTNews) - Daniel Craig has confirmed that he will return for the next chapter of the James Bond saga, if only a bit later than expected.
In a recent interview with the U.K.'s Daily Mail, a source close to the actor confirmed that he will delay work on "Bond 23" to finish up work on his current project, "Dream House." directed by Jim Sheridan.
Though Craig initially indicated that work on the new Bond film would begin early this year, the source says it could be a long way off.
"The producers have been working on the script for two years and hired Sam Mendes as the director," the source said. "They're not even close to starting filming yet."
There is speculation that the film will not be ready until 2012, which will dovetail with the 50th anniversary of the series.
The production delays are not the only recent news surrounding the James Bond franchise. According to recent reports from Australia's Herald Sun, producers are have already chose "Avatar" star Sam Worthington to take over the super spy when Craig's run ends.
