Actor DANIEL CRAIG has signed a $60 million (GBP30 million) deal to star in a total of five JAMES BOND films, according to reports.
The blond 39-year-old is currently filming Bond 22 - his second outing as secret agent 007 following the success of 2006's Casino Royale - and movie executives have reportedly signed him up for another three films, tying him to the franchise for the next 10 years.
A source says, "To date Daniel has been quite cautious over saying how many films he'd be starring in.
"It was presumed he'd probably do a couple more but the word is the new deal ensures he'll do at least another four across the next decade."
Craig's predecessor, Pierce Brosnan, starred in four Bond movies - but the longest-serving 007 star remains to be Sir Roger Moore, who played the iconic role in seven films between 1973 and 1985.
