Daniel Craig will star in a new project from Rian Johnson, the Star Wars director’s first independent release since The Last Jedi.
The only films Craig has appeared in while playing Bond are Kings and Steven Soderbergh’s crime caper Logan Lucky.
The revelation confirms previous reports that the next Bond film will be delayed – it was due to begin filming in December.
Craig has appeared in the past four Bond films – Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre – with the forthcoming fifth film expected to be his last.
