Five Daniel Craig spy films to watch on Netflix right now
Watching Daniel Craig don the suit of a spy will never get old, regardless of what the naysayers say. Netflix viewers were already elated when Craig reprised his role as the iconic Southern sleuth, Benoit Blanc, in Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery in December 2025.
The whodunit debuted right at the top of Netflix’s weekly most popular movies chart and kept the audience glued to their screens for weeks, even sparking a watch-fest entirely dedicated to Craig.
But in 2026, Netflix chose to capitalise on the anticipation with a move probably no one saw coming, dropping the entire James Bond lineup on its US library.
So, if you’re someone who has a never-ending appetite for Craig’s spy stints, here are five Daniel Craig spy films to watch on Netflix right now.
Five Daniel Craig spy films to binge on Netflix right now
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Rian Johnson, 2022)
Serving as the second instalment in the Knives Out film series, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery sees the return of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc during the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. The whodunit follows tech billionaire Miles Bron, who invites his friends, “The Disruptors,” to his mansion on a private island in Greece for a murder mystery game. Accompanying the Disruptors on their island trip is Blanc, who claims that Miles invited him, despite his denial.
While Miles doesn’t exactly mind Blanc there, sensing real danger, the detective, too, stays. And when the murder mystery game kicks off in Glass Onion, Blanc’s instincts soon prove right when one of the guests, Duke Cody, gets poisoned and dies immediately. But this Knives Out Mystery is not about just one death; it follows Blanc’s subsequent investigation surrounding Duke’s murder, which also becomes entwined with another murder case – that of Andi.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (Rian Johnson, 2025)
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is the third instalment in the Knives Out franchise, which takes detective Benoit Blanc to a small parish in upstate New York. The spy thriller follows Blanc as he investigates a seemingly impossible crime when corrupt Monsignor Jefferson Wicks is found dead under mysterious circumstances inside a tiny closet of his own church.
Not long after Wicks’ death, the young boxer-turned-priest, Father Jud, becomes the prime suspect. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery revolves around this locked-door mystery, Blanc’s subsequent investigation and determination to prove Jud’s innocence as they navigate faith, hypocrisy, and community secrets plaguing the church.
Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 2006)
Although this is the 21st film in the James Bond series by Eon Productions, Casino Royale is the first to star Daniel Craig as the iconic fictional MI6 agent, James Bond, AKA 007. In this third screen adaptation of Ian Fleming’s 1953 novel, Bond is promoted to the 00 agent status. After getting a license to kill, he heads to Madagascar, uncovering a link to Le Chiffre.
Le Chiffre is a man of the evil ranks, who has been financing terrorist organisations. So, when Bond learns about his plans to raise money in a high-stakes poker game, MI6 sends Bond on their behalf to play his dice against him, hoping that their newest “00” operative has it in him to topple Chiffre’s organisation and give him a run for his money.
Skyfall (Sam Mendes, 2012)
Skyfall is the third film in the James Bond franchise, where Daniel Craig reprises his role as the sleuth we all know and love. In the 23rd film of the series, the MI6 agent investigates a row of targeted data leaks and coordinated attacks on the organisation he belongs to. After his latest assignment goes terribly wrong, it leads to a turn of events when undercover agents around the world are exposed, with MI6 constantly threatened with danger.
With MI6 compromised from every direction, M is forced to relocate the agency and turn to the one man she can always trust: 007. Skyfall follows Bond, assisted by a field agent, as he tracks down Silva, a man from M’s past, on a mission to settle an old score. The high-stakes spy thriller is one of the best instalments that the James Bond film series has to offer. So, whenever you’re making room for a Craig watch-fest, don’t miss out on this.
No Time to Die (Cary Joji Fukunaga, 2021)
Serving as the fifth and final film to star Daniel Craig as James Bond, No Time to Die follows a retired 007 who springs back into action after being recruited by the CIA. Despite living a life of bliss in Jamaica, when his CIA friend asks for a favour to rescue a kidnapped scientist, Bond is not left with much choice but to rejoin the world he left for good.
But this rescue mission soon evolves into a full-blown confrontation between Bond, Lyutsifer Safin, and his evil DNA-targeting nanobot bioweapon, Project Heracles. As the investigation progresses, No Time to Die follows Bond, whose mission collides with his past with Madeleine Swann and Ernst Stavro Blofeld, revealing Safin’s connection to Madeleine and a revenge plot he didn’t see coming.
