Daniel Craig denies the James Bond #6 rumours

The big hubbub this year seems to be who will play James Bond in the next film, Casino Royale, due out in November 2006. After Pierce Brosnan reported that he was stepping down, rumors started swirling about every actor with a British accent taking his place from Hugh Jackman and Gerard Butler to Clive Owen and Orlando Bloom.

The latest name to pop up as a possible replacement was actor Daniel Craig, who starred in movies like Enduring Love and The Jacket.

Craig was in New York to talk about his film Layer Cake, directed by Matthew Vaughn (who will direct X-Men 3) and he gave ComingSoon.net the skinny on the rumors, stating that he will not be playing the British secret service agent.

Thanks to `Kyvan` for the alert.
