“I’ve been quite cagey about it,” Craig told Colbert about whether or not he’d return as Bond. “I’ve been doing interviews about it all day and people have been asking me and I’ve been kind of coy but I kind of felt like, if I was going to speak the truth, I should speak the truth to you.”

Only after Colbert asked him for some good news to end the day did Craig confirm his return.

“Yes,” said Craig. “I couldn’t be happier.”

The 49-year-old actor added this will be his final venture as Bond.
