Daniel Craig will be playing the role of the iconic British spy for the fifth time. Speculations were doing rounds of his exit after 2015 release Spectre.
The director, who had won an Emmy award in 2014 for directing the first season of ‘True Detective’ and Netflix’s war drama of 2015 ‘Beasts of No Nation’, had also worked in Netflix’s series ‘Maniac’, starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.
The film has been slated to hit the theaters on February 14, 2020.
