Even actors have self-doubt after some failures. Daniel Craig, who shines as Benoit Blanc in theKnives Outfranchise had some serious second thoughts before fulfilling his role in the movie. Although he shined in the role of James Bond, Daniel Craig had his fair share of failures and success stories to his name. In 2011, theCasino Royaleactor was seen in a massive failure titledCowboy & Aliens.
Daniel Craig Was Fearful of TheKnives OutFranchise
Daniel Craig is most notably known for his role as the British MI-6 agent James Bond in various movies likeCasino Royale, Skyfall,and,No Time To Die.The actor also starred in a 2011 Sci-fi/Action movie titledCowboys & Aliens.The film follows Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) waking up in a desert with no memories of his past.

Suffice it to say, the film did not gain much traction within the box office records. Receiving only a 6/10 on IMDB and a low of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film was considered to be a general flop. As reported byDeadline,Daniel Craig spoke about the failure ofCowboys & Aliensand how he was scared to continue with theKnives Outfranchise because of it.
“When we were filming, we fantasized about it, like you do: ‘It would be quite nice to do another one of these.’ But who knows? You don’t want to make predictions that the movie’s going to be successful. We’ve been there, done that, and failed, on a number of occasions. But the fact that people liked Knives Out so much, and the fact that it was such a success, made us think, Let’s see what happens.”
The “number of occasions” line is a reference to the flop movieCowboys & Alienswhich starred many notable actors such as Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and, Olivia Wilde. It turned out to be false sinceKnives Outwas showered by the people with praises and love.
