He gained international fame by playing the fictional secret agent James Bond for five installments in the film series: Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015), and No Time to Die (2021). After training at the National Youth Theatre in London and graduating from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1991, Craig began his career on stage. He began acting with the drama The Power of One (1992) and had his breakthrough role in the drama serial Our Friends in the North (1996).

In 2006, Craig played Bond in Casino Royale, a reboot of the Bond franchise that was favourably received by critics and earned Craig a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. His non-Bond appearances since then include roles in the fantasy film The Golden Compass (2007), the drama Defiance (2008), the science fiction Western Cowboys & Aliens (2011), the mystery thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and the heist film Logan Lucky (2017).

He starred as Iago in the New York Theatre Workshop production of Othello (2016).
The movie opens in the X-Mansion as the most recent set of mutants graduate and old X-Men reunite for the first time in years. We see people like Logan who recently got his memories back thanks to a serum Bruce Banner created, Cyclops who after being left by Jean Grey who is missing is now married to Emma Frost, Beast who after creating the cure for cancer is now a billionaire, Nightcrawler who rejoined the circus he belonged to before the X-Men, and more. Members like Colossus, Magneto, and Kitty Pryde did not return for a number of reasons. Kitty Pryde is currently in India trying to clear her mind now that Peter Parker is with Gwen Stacy, Colossus is working with the X-Force, and Magneto is looking for a way to stop aging. The movie ends with Cyclops and Logan visiting Charles Xavier's grave and saying goodbye. This isn't the end of the X-Men films in this universe but it is the end of the team we've been following. In the next X-Men film we're going to start fresh with new and familiar members.
