Daniel Craig Surgery News: 'James Bond' Actor Injures Knee while Filming 'Spectre'

Daniel Craig, the star of the most recent James Bond films has been injured while filming the latest installment in the series.

According to BBC News, the actor had to undergo a minor procedure after injuring his knee while filming Spectre, the new James Bond film, over the weekend.

For those that many not know, the actual knee injury was sustained in February.

In response to hearing about the injury, one of the former James Bond actors, Roger Moore, jokingly tweeted that he would step in if a replacement was needed, according to People.

He will recover from his injury and is expected to rejoin production on April 22nd.

The filming of the movie started last December in London, and since then has been filmed in several locations including Rome, Mexico and Austria.

The production, which will be the 24th James Bond film had some issues in December when a draft of the script was leaked after Sony was hacked.

This is Craig's fourth time playing James Bond, and the film will be featuring Christopher Waltz as Franz Oberhouser.

Even though Craig is taking three weeks off to recover from his knee injury and related surgery, the production of the film is expected to continue smoothly, with the movie being released on November 6th of this year.

The Guardian reports: "The secret agent's past looks set to haunt him in the 24th big screen installment of the spy series, with 007 receiving a cryptic message leading him on a trail to uncover the truth behind shady crime syndicate, Spectre, while M fights for the secret service's political life."

Look out for Spectre, which will be in theaters this November.
