We received some Knives Out 3 news last week when director Rian Johnson posted a teaser trailer on social media. The trailer featured Daniel Craig speaking as Detective Benoit Blanc and announced the next film’s title: Wake Up Dead Man.

Johnson teased the franchise’s third installment earlier this week, stating, “I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is. There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies … We’re about to go into production on the third one, and I’m very, very excited to share the title, which gives a little hint of where it’s going.”

Most recently, Scott starred in Netflix’s series Ripley. He also starred alongside Paul Mescal in the 2023 romantic fantasy All of Us Strangers. Scott is the recipient of multiple acting awards, including a BAFTA, two Laurence Olivier Awards and a British Independent Film Award.

In addition to Scott and Craig, other confirmed cast members include Josh O’Connor from this year’s film Challengers and Cailee Spaeny, star of 2023’s Priscilla. Wake Up Dead Man will be distributed by Netflix like Glass Onion was in 2022. Only time will tell if the film gets a theatrical release like the original Knives Out. It’s also likely that the next installation will work as a standalone like its predecessor.
