We’re super excited and intrigued for what’s to come. If Knives Out and its sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is anything to go by, we’re in for some mad detective hi-jinks. Previous stars who have starred in the Knives Out franchise include Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Janelle Monáe, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, even a fun cameo from Hugh Grant. The list goes on.
The full name of the movie is set to be called Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Here’s everything else we know so far.
Knives Out 3 cast
The confirmed cast so far is an absolute doozy. Alongside Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, we have Andrew Scott (please let him be Benoit’s lover!), Glenn Close, Challengers star Josh O’Connor, Priscilla actor Cailee Spaeny, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington (Little Fires Everywhere), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters), Jeremy Renner, Dune star Josh Brolin and Easy A‘s Thomas Haden Church.
According to reports, Mila Kunis was seen on the first day of filming wearing what looked like a sherriff’s hat on set, walking to film a scene with Daniel Craig with Josh O’Connor beside her. Intriguing.
Knives Out 3 plot
Exactly what kind of murder mystery Rian Johnson’s third outing will entail is being kept tightly under wraps for now, but we’ll keep you posted.
Knives Out 3 trailer
While we don’t have an official trailer yet, we do have a little teaser voiced by Benoit himself, telling us that the third instalment will portray his “most dangerous case yet”.
