British actor Daniel Craig has reportedly turned down a $100 million offer for the next two James Bond movies as he is no more interested in playing the fictional spy.
MGM Studio reportedly offered Craig $100 million to return as 007 for two more movies.

"Daniel is done - pure and simple - he told top brass at MGM after Spectre. They threw huge amounts of money at him, but it just wasn't what he wanted," a source told Mail Online. "He had told people after shooting that this would be his final outing, but the film company still felt he could come around after Spectre if he was offered a money deal."
Craig has worked in four James Band movies - 'Spectre,' 'Skyfall,' 'Quantum of Solace,' and 'Casino Royale.' He debuted as secret agent in the 2005 James Bond movie 'Casino Royale.'
Last year, the 48-year-old actor said he would rather 'slash his wrists' than play James Bond one more time.
"Now? I'd rather ... slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I'm over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on," he said. "At the moment, we've done it. I'm not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money."
There have been speculations that British actor Tom Hiddleston might replace Craig in the next James Bond movie as British secret service agent. The 'Thor' actor was reportedly spotted meeting with franchise's director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli.
