A third Knives Out film is officially on the way - and now the brand-new cast joining Daniel Craig’s Detective Benoit Blanc has been revealed. Rian Johnson’s film is titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery , inspired by a U2 song. While the plot is not yet clear, Johnson revealed Craig would return to the series in a teaser trailer shared on X, according to Variety .
While the first movie introduced Benoit Blanc as he cracked the case of writer Harlan Thrombey’s death, its sequel Glass Onion followed billionaire Miles Bron, who invites a group of his rich friends over for a murder mystery game that turns fatal. The previous films have featured some big names, from Ana de Armas to Hugh Grant, Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis - but who will star in the upcoming instalment alongside Craig? Josh O’Connor has already had a busy year, starring in Challengers alongside Zendaya following his turn in The Crown as now-King Charles. Now he’s joining Craig in Wake Up Dead Man .
Cailee Spaeny is also joining the cast after appearing in political thriller Civil War - though most will know her best from Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla . Meanwhile, Fleabag ’s Andrew Scott will also appear, having recently starred in All of Us Strangers and Netflix’s Ripley . The film also stars Kerry Washington , who most recently appeared in The School of Good and Evil in 2022, as well as Oscar-nominated star Glenn Close .
