Actually, my guess is that, if they really liked Craig, they will have signed him to a multi-picture deal. One of the reasons that George Lazenby didn't come back after OHMSS (apart from him not getting along with the director) was that his agent advised him not to sign a multi-picture deal.

(My joke being that a blond Bond would be akin to a dark haired Constantine.)
A blond Bond might be a little tougher for me to take than a dark haired Constantine, but hey! At least this guy's a Limey.

Not much familiar with his work, though I have seen RtP, and didn't like it. But as the above poster mentioned, I will give him a shot before I say he sucks ass. Plus I like Martin campbell helming.
Reminds me of the Star Trek curse. 
I'm predicting an "even-numbered" James Bond curse for this one. The odd-numbered actor is widely accepted (#1 Sean Connery, #3 Roger Moore, #5 Pierce Brosnan) where as the even-numbered actor never lasts more than two films and nearly kills the franchise (#2 George Lazenby, #4 Timothy Dalton, #6 Daniel Craig?).

Who can honestly say this face screams suave ladies man?
He might fit the bill for dark, ruthless spy, but that is only part of the appeal. This guy looks like he got stuck in a meat grinder.

There's more of a chance Craig might be a Bond villian, he looks like a Bond villian.
Until a official announcement, this is speculation. No one is Bond as of yet.

I've only this guy in The Jacket, and based on that all I can say is wh-wh-what?
He may be a good actor, but he's freaky looking... seems more like a Bond villain than anything.

I still think Jeremy Northam would make a great Bond.

The guy certainly doesn't look like Bond, but maybe that's a good sign if EON is going with an unconventional choice for the role. I'm tired of them playing it safe and using the same tired formula every time out. Brosnan was a decent Bond, but after GoldenEye, his movies sucked.

I had read that Ian Fleming based the Bond character off of Cary Grant. If that is the case then Daniel Craig certainly does not or ever will fit the bill.

You know Brosnan doesn't write the films right?
