Daniel Craig famously does most of his own Bond stunts, and after spraining his knee while shooting 2015’s Spectre, he worried in an interview that one day a more series injury would prove a setback to the films. "There’s a terrifying thought where we might have to shut down filming while I go off and have surgery and everybody has to wait around," he told Den of Geek that year. "It would have been just awful."
Unfortunately, that’s just what happened in May, when Craig injured his ankle on the set of Bond 25 and filming was delayed as he underwent reparative surgery. But luckily the star seems to be on the road to recovery. The official Bond social media accounts posted an image of him working out in the gym, and while he’s still wearing a cast on his leg, it’s probably coming off soon—the post's caption says that Craig will be "shooting next week."
The movie, which is being directed by Cary Fukunaga, faced another accident earlier this month when a stunt test went awry, creating an explosion that blew off part of the set’s roof. Though the incident didn’t further delay the shoot, a crew member suffered a minor injury.
Bond 25 is being directed by True Detective’s Cary Fukunaga, and will co-star Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek as its villain. According to the film’s official synopsis, the film will follow Bond after he’s left MI6, "when his friend Felix Leiter enlists his help in the search for a missing scientist. When it becomes apparent that they were abducted, Bond must confront a danger the likes of which the world has never seen.”
