Daniel Craig is the "greatest Bond".
According to 'Quantum of Solace' co-producer Michael G. Wilson, the actor - who reprises his role as the British spy for a second time in the new movie
- has eclipsed all of his predecessors, including Sir Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan, with his portrayal of 007.
Wilson told British radio station Heart FM: "He is the greatest Bond right now and the people love him."
Wilson also confirmed Craig will definitely be returning to the role for a third time and revealed work will start on the next movie in early 2009.
He said: "Last time when we were in post production on 'Casino Royale' we were already working on 'Quantum of Solace'.
"This time we haven't started, but in January we are going to get some writers together and start kicking some ideas around."
Long-running Bond producer Barbara Broccoli hopes 40-year-old Craig will continue as the secret agent for years to come.
She said: "He's got to come back, we're not going to let him go."

Greg Tingle comment
The general consensus is that Daniel Craig is the greatest Bond ever. Casino Royale set the stage, and for anyone that needs more convincing, Quantum of Solace will do it. I've spoke to everyone from John "Vulcan" Seru (Gabor in The World Is Not Enough) to media experts close to media and casino mavericks like Richard Branson and James Packer. I had Seru go on BBC re this. Mr Craig is the man of the moment, the future, and he leads the pack of Bond's over the decades in the opinion of many.
