Daniel Craig is debuting a new look for his role in the forthcoming Knives Out 3 , and fans are divided. In a tweet shared on Monday, director Rian Johnson offered the first behind-the-scenes look at Craig in character as detective Benoit Blanc . The black-and-white image shows the 56-year-old British star with long hair, wearing a three-piece suit and holding a hat.
“Aaaaand we’re off! Today is day 1 of shooting on the next Benoit Blanc mystery Wake Up Dead Man – see you on the other side,” Johnson wrote in the caption. Several fans have since commented on the post, reacting in shock to Craig’s new appearance. “HIS HAIR WHAT AN ICON,” one wrote, while a second admitted that “Blanc with long hair” felt “kinda weird, but I like it.
” “Omg his hairstyle,” a third said, next to a crying emoji. “Have a good shoot!” someone else commented. “And do tell that young man to get a haircut.
” “There better be a damn good reason why Benoit has that long hair,” another wrote. “Long hair AND a fedora? I smellll prequel?” one surmised, while others compared Craig’s changed appearance to Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible franchise. “The Knives Out movies are gonna be like Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise alternating between long and short hair,” a fan said.
“I dig it.” A second agreed: “I like that you’re going down the ‘long hair vs short hair’ route to differentiate sequels like with Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible movies..
