Danny Boyle has ruled out directing the next James Bond adventure.

The Slumdog Millionaire filmmaker was linked with the director's chair for the 23rd instalment in the spy franchise earlier this week.

However, Boyle informed Entertainment Weekly that he has "no plans" to direct Daniel Craig's third 007 outing.

"I enjoy the Bond movies, always have and always will, but I have no plans to direct one," he said. "I don't know who came up with the story, but please tell them I'm very flattered to be thought of!"
