Daniel Craig has stepped into the role Robert Downey Jr. was set to play in the upcoming comic book film Cowboys and Aliens.

Daniel Craig has closed his deal to star in Cowboys and Aliens for DreamWorks and Universal, as I predicted. Craig will star in an adaptation of Fred Van Lente’s graphic novel that was published by Platinum Studios and revolves around cowboys and Native Americans who put aside their Old West differences to battle invading aliens. Craig will play the lead cowboy Zeke Jackson, replacing Robert Downey Jr who exited to jump right back to the Sherlock Holmes sequel.

Craig is a good fit for the role. And even though we know Robert Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau have worked well together in the past, it will be a nice change of pace for Craig from the  Bond films.
