“There were lots of different ideas that came and went and some of it stuck,” said Craig.
“The through line of this is family [and] love, plus the fact we had an end so it was about hanging the film off that,” he added.
Creating the story for his swan song as 007, he explained, was a “massive collaborative effort,” adding: “That was the headline really: just make it better. So we all input into it in varying ways.”
Craig admitted he was not shy about sharing his own ideas. “I tend not to shut up or keep my mouth shut about things and the only reason I want to get involved is because I just want it to be the best it can be,” he said.
Ultimately, Craig said he found the film’s ending to be “really very, very satisfying”
