Daniel Craig kept a low profile as he touched down at Athens International Airport in Greece on Saturday amid filming for his new prison drama in the country.
The actor, 58, who stars in the new movie alongside Cillian Murphy, 49, cut a casual figure while making his exit from the airport.
Daniel kept it low-key in a light grey Champion hoodie which he layered over a black top and teamed with jeans.
Shielding his famous features beneath shades and a black cap, he completed the look with a pair of tan suede boots.
While the prison drama’s plot line and name are being kept firmly under wraps for now, a short synopsis has been released.
According to World Of Steel, it reads: ‘A prison warden (Craig) attempts to discipline a defiant inmate (Murphy) within a brutal correctional system.

‘As tensions rise, their relationship evolves into a psychological duel. [Michelle] Williams portrays the warden’s wife. Mia Threapleton plays the inmate’s girlfriend.’
According to industry reports, filming is expected to continue into May, when production will then move to greater Athens before wrapping up in Corfu.
There is currently no release date and the full cast lineup is yet to be announced, though Greek outlet iefimerida has reported Michelle Williams has signed up.
Meanwhile James Bond fans will reportedly have to wait another two years before 007 is back on the big screen, marking the longest gap between movies in the franchise’s 64-year history.
The super spy is no stranger to a lengthy hiatus – with a six-year gap between 1989’s Licence to Kill, the final Timothy Dalton film, and 1995’s GoldenEye, the first to star Pierce Brosnan.
But with the leading actor still to be recast, following Daniel’s exit after 2021’s No Time To Die, a rumoured 2028 spring release means audiences will have waited a whopping seven years.
Last year the Broccoli family handed over creative control over to Amazon MGM Studios – which was formed when Amazon bought Bond’s parent studio in 2022 – after 30 years.
Dune’s director Denis Villeneuve has signed on to helm the new project, with Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight penning the script.

A source said: ‘Bond won’t be back until 2028. The production mindset’s gone from “Let’s hurry this through’” to “Make sure we get this right”.
‘Denis wanted a long break after Dune 3 and has some broad ideas on the script. Steven will get on with drafts, before they map out the final version. That’ll take at least the whole summer.”
They told The Sun: ‘Realistically, if they can make January 2027 work for pre-production then that will be a success. The principal photography will run until the summer and the film always takes around nine months to a year to edit’.
The Daily Mail have contacted Amazon MGM for comment.
