The actor has committed to appear in a further two movies in the super spy franchise, earning $10 million (GBP5 million) and GBP16 million (GBP8 million) for each one respectively - after his appearance in Casino Royale helped the movie become the biggest-grossing Bond outing ever, taking $600 million (GBP300 million) at the box office.

The $26 million (GBP13 million) sum is over twice the amount Craig originally negotiated with Bond production agency Eon, according to British newspaper the Sunday Express.
