Daniel Craig fears credit crunch may delay next James Bond film

Daniel Craig, the star of Quantum of Solace, has disclosed that the credit crunch may stop another Bond film being made - reports The Telegraph.

The actor said that another Bond film had not been scheduled. He said: "As far as the next film's concerned, there is nothing scheduled," he says. "Economically the world is in quite a lot of trouble so who knows if we can afford to do another Bond movie anytime soon?"

"I'm quite superstitious and I don't take anything for granted. I'd love to do another one though, love to," he added.

The 40-year-old actor has a four-film contract as 007 to fulfil in a contract that could earn him £30 million in the next five years.

However, the actor denied that he was motivated financially.

"I have all I need," he said "Materialistically, I'm in good shape. I genuinely don't need anything."

Craig, who has reinvented James Bond as a cold, calculating assassin, admitted that like his 007 alter ego, said he too could kill for love.

"I would kill for my family, it's as simple as that. And my friends are the most important thing to me, " he told the Mirror.

Quantum of Solace, out next week, follows the Bond seeking revenge after the death of his girlfriend.
