Daniel will be working alongside Oscar winning director, Danny Boyle for Bond 25 which is due to be released from 25 October 2019.
The news comes after Daniel said he’d "rather slash his wrists" than play Bond again in 2015. He told Time Out: "I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I'm over it at the moment. We're done, all I want to do is move on."
Looks like he had a change of heart!
