Daniel Craig confirms his return for a 5th James Bond movie

It's official: Daniel Craig will return as Agent 007 in the next James Bond movie.

During his appearance on "The Late Show," host Stephen Colbert asked Craig if he would return as the secret agent, the 49 year old actor answered "Yes,".

The New York Times had reported in July that Craig was attached to the upcoming Bond film, but he'd been dodging questions about the role until Tuesday night.

Daniel Craig first played Agent 007 in 2006's "Casino Royale," and has since starred in three more Bond films: 2008's "Quantum of Solace," 2012's "Skyfall" and 2015's "Spectre."

The next Bond movie is slated for a 2019 release.
