Benoit Blanc and his Kentucky Fried Foghorn Leghorn drawl is coming back for his “most dangerous case yet.” That’s how Daniel Craig’s brilliant detective described his next outing in the announcement trailer for Rian Johnson ’s third Knives Out installment, Wake Up Dead Man . Who will join Craig for some murder-mystery fun this time around? What is the movie about? And when (and where) can we expect to see it? Here’s everything we know about Netflix’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery so far.
Title Knives Out 3 is officially titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery . That latter half of that title also appeared in Glass Onion ‘s title, much to the chagrin of Rian Johnson . Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery ‘s Plot Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery does not have an official synopsis, but we do have some early clues about what to expect from it.
Johnson’s announcement of the film included commentary about how much he loves the malleability of whodunits. Combined with calling it Benoit Blanc’s “most dangerous case yet,” and everything points towards the darkest entry in the franchise yet. The title and its accompanying font also suggest the film will have something to do with pirates.
( Though we can’t rule out the film is about U2 . Hopefully The Edge is safe either way.) Does that mean a good old-fashioned treasure hunt gone wrong? A setting somewhere in the Caribbean? Arr, until we be getting something more official, wese can le.
