Mr. White Probably Won't Return For BOND 23 - Calls CASINO & QUANTUM 'Shit'!!

Merrick here...
Actor Jesper Christensen, who played "Mr. White" in CASINO ROYALE and QUANTUM OF SOLACE, will evidently not be returning for the next Bond movie. During a press meeting for his new movie A FAMILY...

Christensen said that he is happy that his "interlude as a villain in the James Bond series is over." Explaining his position, Christensen said: "Today, I admit that I regard [Casino Royale] and [Quantum of Solace] as really shit. All the people die in them, so two movies are enough for me."

This quote comes to us by way of THIS article over at the excellent Bond site MI6. The next 007 film is currently being developed as a script by Peter Morgan (THE QUEEN, FROST/NIXON), Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (CASINO and QUANTUM). Word is the project may not shift into full gear until the future disposition of MGM is stabilized (allowing the dust from its sale to settle, and whatnot). Although, given the success of the last two films, it's certain The Powers That Be will press forward as quickly as the situation allows.
