The 47-year-old star , who has played 007 in four movies since 2006, has agreed to appear in upcoming US drama series Purity, according to reports.

 

The move is seen as latest indication that Craig is set to hang up his tuxedo², after recently claiming he wanted to walk away from the role that turned him into a global star.

 

In October, he said he'd rather "slash³ his wrists" than appear as Bond again any time soon.

 

However, he is still said to be contracted for one more film after agreeing a £31m two-picture deal following the success of 2012 hit Skyfall.

 

His last outing as the super-smooth spy came in Spectre, which was released last year and immediately broke box office records.

 

​A industry insider said: "Daniel's commitment to this project really makes his return as James Bond a serious doubt.

 

"It is likely that the show may be still filming at Christmas. MGM had hoped to get the next Bond film on screen in 2017 with Daniel at the helm.

 

"Daniel has left the year free so far to make Purity work, so out of the two productions it is clear that is where his head is at."
