Daniel Craig has knee surgery during break on Bond filming

James Bond may be indestructible, but the actors who play the British superspy are not.

Daniel Craig has had arthroscopic knee surgery in between filming the latest Bond flick "Spectre."

Producers say he underwent a "minor procedure" during the 007 project's Easter production break.

He is believed to have suffered the injury while filming action scenes for "Spectre" in Mexico.

Eon Productions said Monday Craig will rejoin the production when it resumes filming at the famed Pinewood Studios in England on April 22.

Craig is making his fourth appearance as the suave secret agent. He follows Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and others in the role.

In February, it was reported that Craig was also injured while shooting a car chase scene for the film in Rome when Bond's Aston Martin hit one of the Eternal City's notorious potholes, causing the British star to hit his head on the car's interior. He was reportedly seen by a doctor and flew to London the next day, as had been slated on the production's timetable.

"Spectre," Craig's fourth outing as Bond and the 24th film in the franchise overall, also stars Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes and Monica Bellucci. It arrives in theaters Nov. 6.
