Daniel Craig to return as James Bond in Skyfall

Daniel Craig will be returning as 007 in the 23rd James Bond film, which is called 'SkyFall'.

Details of the newest Bond instalment were revealed at a press conference in London on 3 November.

Craig appeared with the director of the film Sam Mendes for the first time to officially kick off filming - the same day Sean Connery was named as the first Bond 50 years ago.

Other cast members appeared on stage including Dame Judi Dench, who plays M, Javier Bardem, the villain, and the two Bond girls Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe.

The press conference also revealed the synopsis stating: "Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her.

"As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost."

In 2011, Craig has starred in 'The Adventures of TinTin; Secret of the Unicorn', 'Dream House', 'Cowboys & Aliens' and 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'.

He also married actress Rachel Weisz earlier this year in a secret wedding ceremony
