I'm pretty certain Craig will do four Bond movies but after that I am not holding my breathe - maybe a 5th but that is pushing it. He seems to get a lot of work in Hollywood - regardless of whether you like him or not.
Also is age that much of an issue? Many actors play characters who are either older or younger than they are - the important thing is they can pull it off. Whether Craig could pull Bond off at 50 I don't know - I guess it would depend on how good he looked.
All that said I really don't see Craig being Bond for more than 4 IMHO but only time will tell.

P.S. I am not sure why there is so much anti-Craig sentiment on this board? If you don't like him that much don't watch his Bond movies - simple!

Speaking as one who just could not see/accept RM as Bond it meant that just not watching his films disconnected me from the series for a very long time... Which for a lifelong Bond nut/nerd was really tough. The net has changed this as it allows for discussion and continued involvement.
Others clearly feel the same about DC. Personally I had made my piece with him and now feel
that although not my idea of Bond he has made a unique contribution, is a fine actor, and some elements of his Bond are superb. I am still trying to be positive re Skyfall, but admit that the shots seen so far are a real cause for concern, even despite not knowing the context.
Therefor the discussion is right and proper as long as it avoids needless personal attacks, and remains reasoned.
The concerns relate directly to your point re age credibility, and what is being questioned is whether DC is credible now, and if he is likely to be so beyond 23, based upon our limited exposure so far.
Personally having seen DC looking great (really Bondlike with longer hair, no beard/stubble, tanned and well rested) I can only assume that the current look is part of a plan that I hope will make sense when we see the movie.
