You don't get it do you? You just don't get it. Daniel Craig has a four film contract with Eon productions and he's only done two films so far. If Tim Burton were to take over for Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace director) right now Craig would still be James Bond because you just can't say "smurf a contract" and do you whatever the hell you want. That's why The Kingpin was never in a Spider-Man film because by contract the movie rights to The Kingpin belong to 20th Century Fox.
