Daniel Craig will undergo ankle surgery following an injury he sustained while filming the still untitled 25th installment of the acclaimed franchise.
The news were announced via the franchise’s official Twitter on Wednesday.
“Daniel Craig will be undergoing minor ankle surgery resulting from an injury sustained during filming in Jamaica,” the official announcement read. “Production will continue whilst Craig is rehabilitating for two weeks post-surgery. The film remains on track for the same release date in April 2020.”

“He was sprinting during filming when he slipped and fell quite awkwardly,” a source told the Sun. “He was in quite a lot of pain and was complaining about his ankle.”
